The best news stories in science
are often found where the writer
least, expects them. ' " ..
That's the view of Howard W.
Blakeslee, veteran science -editor
of the Associated Press, who has
returned to New York after
spending several days on the UNC
campus seeking science stories of
national or international interest.
Blakeslee has visited the cam
pus on a number of occasions and
was here last year about the same
time. .

; heads of the various science de
partments, Blakeslee combs the
University campus; for possible
stories. He usually digs up four
or five each day.
His writing chore - begins after
he leaVes the campus. He will t
check into a hotel in some neigh
boring town without letting any
one know he is there, so he won't
be interrupted, and begin grind
ing out his yarna. That done, he
moves on to the next campus or
back to headquarters in New
York, depending on what's up.
Many people have the notion
there must be a new discovery
before a science story is ready for
release. But Blakeslee has no such
conception of what's news.
"The only requirement is that
the development be interesting,"
says Blakeslee. "Some plan just
started doesn't have much appeal
' there are millions of plans be-
' ing dreamed up and put on paper
every day. The important thing
is whether the plan has reached
has doubts , about some of his
facts. ' " '
When Blakeslee, who holds an
honorary degree from the Uni
versity of Michigan which "ship
ped" him one time for a student
prank, is covering national con
ventions of science groups as he
often does, he doesn't have time
to submit his stories, which are
for the wires, for checking. The
pieces must be moved in a hurry.
And working under great pres
sure, nothing irritates him more
than for some speaker to insist
on checking the story before it
goes on the wires.
