I recently had reason to read a Wilmington, NC newspaper section from the 50's. There were so many human interest stories, articles on social and civic club activities The descriptions of the individuals involved was of a generous, kind spirit. The articles about a house fire or politics included the what, when, who and why; fundamentals of reporting a story. At the time, I thought it pollyannish. I realize now I read it through jaundiced eyes because there was an absence of hyperbolic fears, threats and worries.
