GammaGlobulin Posted Friday at 10:31 PM Posted Friday at 10:31 PM Dear Fellow Scribes..... Where have all the Far-Eastern-Economic-Review writers gone? Long time passing. Does Anyone remember Far-Eastern WRITING? Just recalling the great FEER, back in the day....gives one a big one...... Those were the days when writing was real.... Those were the days when you got writing with MEAT on the BONE..... And.... Robert Plant should know something about this, too! Best regards, Gamma NOTE4: Back in the day, we once looked forward to reading FEER before it was subsumed and watered down....by another rag, which, in turn, had been watered down...too. Does anybody remember....LAUGHTER????

Seemed to have been better.... At that particular time and place. Whether or not it really was, only we can know.... Those who were actually there, in the trenches. We few, who are still standing, are the only ones who remain.... Still qualified to judge. (No, really. Was the South China Sea really better, back then? It was. Definitely!)

Please just try to keep in mind, in case you might have forgotten: “A writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people to read the writer's writing.” And, by now, you probably know that I am a writer. 2

I walked amongst them, back in the day, and what I found surprising about Americans was that they believed their own stories. Call it gullibility, call it faith, but that is the soul of the American Dream.
