[stylist] Paul Harvey author

[Judith Bron]

By now, all of you know that  Paul Harvey passed away on Saturday.  Paul was a brilliant broadcaster, but more than that he was an accomplished writer.  He put just as much effort into a news story about Kings, Presidents and warlords as he did about the common guy, you and me.  Nothing was too minor.  Gil Gross, in the Paul Harvey radio slot, just played this story as told by Paul.  "I got up on a miserable wintry morning and prayed that G-d would help me confront the weather and give me the energy to survive it.  In stead, He sent me wisdom.  I rolled over and went back to sleep."  Mr. Gross gave many other examples of Paul's brilliance as a broadcaster.  I think I just learned a lesson in writing that even the most credentialed English professor would be unable to relay.  Sorry Lori, I'm about to go back and make a few revisions.  The lessons of Paul Harvey the author will eventually make their way into the hallowed halls, but no one will ever be able to recite them as Paul did.  Judith
