Michael: Here I am this afternoon all keyed up on that job Paul Backus has over in Green Bay, WI. American Customs probably won't let me cross the border again now that I don't know my mother was.

(fed) He read 5 daily newspapers cover to cover everyday, did absolutely nothing else and was paid $50,000. per year. Actually refused a promotion as it would have interfered with his passion for the news.
