ally used to go to Fleet Street, home
of Britain's newspaper industry, to
savor the atmosphere of all those
papers being produced in old build

Carolina Union. When we're finished
M.R.' comes out from Mebane and
picks up the paste-up sheets.
Normally that's the. last we see of it
until it's on the stands the following
morning.
