Question

what famous newspaper was the place of lipstye's first writing job

Answer 1

My professional journalism life started in June, 1957, when I answered a classified ad in the New York Times for an "editorial assistant." I needed a summer job. I was 19 years old and had just graduated from Columbia. I was going to California to seek my fortune as a book and movie writer.

I never went. I hated my new job - copyboy in the sports department - but I loved working at the paper.


At 21 I became a reporter. I covered the New York Mets' first spring training in 1962, and in 1964 I was sent to Miami Beach to cover the heavyweight championship fight between Sonny Liston and Cassius Clay.
