I don't want any more economists, sages, or oracles bombinating over our cables. I want a reporter! Somebody who doesn't know the difference between an -ism and a kangaroo. A good, honest crime reporter. That's what the Globe needs. That's what Europe needs. There's a crime hatching on that bedeviled continent.

How would you like to cover the biggest story in the world today?
Give me an expense account and I'll cover anything.
I'll give you an expense account.
Okay, What's the story?
Europe.
Well, I'm afraid I'm not exactly equipped, sir, but I can do some reading up.
No no, no reading up. I like you just as you are, Mr. Jones. What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind.
Foreign correspondent, huh?
No, reporter. I don't want correspondence, I want news.
