In my thirty-eight years working at the Los Angeles Times it’s been extremely rare to hear the cry “Stop the presses”, especially on our busiest night of the week. But that’s what occurred Friday night when UCLA Basketball Coach John Wooden passed away, the presses went silent for more than three hours as the printing presses were realigned to make room for four additional pages in honor of Mr. Wooden.
Our colleagues down south will have a very long night, as they must finish printing their newspapers without the luxury of another crew coming in to send them home. Poked a little fun at Gary Bunch as I rubbed it in I was at home sipping on a cold beer while he still has many hours before he leaves the Times Orange County Facility.
If you favorite newspaper, The Los Angeles Times, is a bit late this morning, don’t worry it will arrive shortly.
