The REPORTERS Instinct.

Reporters become star reporters be-
cause they observe things that other
people miss and because they do not
let it appear that they have observed
them. When the great man who is be.
ing interviewed blurts out that which
is indiscreet but most important, the
cub reporter says, That is most In
teresting. sir; I'll make a note Of that
And so warns the great man into ST.

the indiscreet utterance as though IL
bored him, and so the great man does
not know he has blundered until be
