The Dallas Times Herald did an outstanding job of covering the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. I was lucky to be an intern at the paper two summers afterward, before my senior year in college. But the lessons I learned there were not all uplifting. For example, the editorial excellence it displayed in November of 1963 didn’t extend to coverage of its advertisers, to whom it pandered. Still, I came to work at 6:30 every morning ready to have some fun, and often enough, I did.
