Chris Stephens arrived as a stringer for the Scotsman, if I remember right. He was soon filing stories to about 8 rural British papers. He was writing all the time. Like most British journalists, he's got a great sense of humor. How come all the British reporters are funny and none of the Americans are? Something has happened to journalism in America. In today's world Mark Twain would not be able to get a job on an American paper. Same for H.L. Mencken.
