The story is told in The Boys on the Bus, that Johnny Apple of the NY Times was disliked by other reporters on the state house beat, and that one group who regularly lunched together decided that griping about him had become boring. They enforced the rule of a 25 cent fine per mention of his name. Then one day a regular walked in, through down a $5, and let go his rant. [Edit: I'd have forgotten this long ago, except that I've worked with people who have that way of getting under one's skin.] |
