Speaking of John Steinbeck, when I was a copy editor at The Arizona Republic in Phoenix, a colleague wrote one of the best headlines ever for a story about problems in Monterrey, California's historic district: "Cannery Woe."
By the way, John Steinbeck was a full-fledged member of the Cult of 602. "According to his son, John Steinbeck’s ritual was to begin every writing session by sharpening 24 Blackwing pencils and placing them in a pot. He would write with one until it began to dull, then place it in an identical empty pot and take another until he had worked through all 24. Then he would sharpen them all and begin the process over again."
The last rally of Sadie is not an uncommon story. I’ve seen it. The good bye rally is a beautiful gift.
