Speaking on
Stories from the Rolodex
“Pay attention,” Kevin White says. He tells them what's going on. The Rolling Stones got arrested. Big boos. Time out. “I'm in charge. They are in my custody.” Excerpt from Stories from the Rolodex.​
​
Stories from the Rolodex tells the true tales of journalists who worked in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s when there were no cell phones, the internet hadn't been invented, and social media was nonexistent. It's the story of the finding of the Titanic, chasing strippers to catch a congressman, traveling the back roads of Alabama, Mississippi, and South Georgia as a reporter looking for the story in the Deep South in 1962 and, "I carried my gun in the glove compartment." Journalists racing to pay phones to call in a story. They did their job, reported the news and we read all about it in the morning newspaper.
