- Dave's Articles:
- ----------------
-
- MIAMI HERALD
- Ted Goldblatt writes,
- "his "normal" column is found in Tropic, which is the sunday
- magazine. assorted other items show up periodically, scattered
- around the paper (national news - probably most of these are
- also made available to the syndicators, local news - i would
- guess no one but us sees these, and sports seem to be the most
- common). i don't know from down here how much of what dave writes
- beyond the sunday columns is seen by the rest of the world; it's
- sorta funky that he's "just" another columnist for the local paper!"
