Maybe ephesians What single person played the biggest role / had the biggest influence on your journalism career?

Probably William Langewiesche -- I dream of doing something like what he wrote about ground zero after 9/11 What did you have for breakfast?

Lincoln Leg or breast (chicken, of course) Def breast, with some cajun spice or breaded Friday night or Saturday night? Depends on which game is on "Wedding Crashers" or "Old School" Wedding Crashers The Palm or Cafe Milano? Les Halles for their french onion soup, and the steak aint bad either Yankees or Red Sox? Nats Jenna or Barbara? Alison McSteamy or McDreamy? No comment Leno or Letterman? Letterman hands down Stewart or Colbert? Stewart hands down Boxers or briefs? Boxers
