*ASU COACHING JOB ON CRAIGSLIST: Good one.
The proper candidate for the job must love to vacation in Mobile, AL. Candidate should also come equipped with a catch phrase, Ex: "Feel the Freeze, Get on the Gus Bus."

Joan had a simple theory about covering the legislature. Every story required two essential elements, no more: "Two quotes and a vote." In other words, who won the fight and what did each side say about it?Setting aside the hyperbole, Joan's point was that anything beyond the basics was a waste of good ink — and kept reporters away from friends and family.
What else?
