INQUIRING REPORTER

ATF ONE time or another all of us have reacted to
something we have read in a writer’s column. We have
enthusiastically agreed with the views expressed; we have
expressed ontrage at the thought that this scribbler is
actually paid to rant and rave; and we have been
challenged by views that perhaps we had not considered

before. The columnist’s job is traditionally one of in-
terpreting — rather than investigating — events and
logics, be they past or present. Judging by the amount
of columnist-generated mail the News receives cach
week, it would seem a column’s ability to spark intcilec-
tual debate has not diminished.

What do you see as the aim of your column?

My idea in writing a col-

things that | feel strongly

be brought to the atten-

My approach when {|

writing fo appeal to the
