...night last week, Teleprinter No. 2 chattered abruptly into life in the newsroom of West Deutsche Rundfunk, a radio station in Cologne. This meant fresh copy from the telegraph office, and the late-shift operator dutifully bestirred himself to see what was coming in. The message he read jolted him down to his half soles. TODAY, LATE IN AFTERNOON, announced Telex No. 2, FIRST MINISTER OF U.S.S.R. KHRUSHCHEV DIED SURPRISINGLY AT 20:19 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME OF HEPHOCAPALYTIROSISES.

In 1935, after earning a Phi Beta Kappa key and an M.A. in psychology at St. Louis' Washington University, he made a beeline for the newsroom of the St. Louis Star-Times, which was even then mortally ill (it died in 1951). "I picked the Star-Times because it was the lowest-paying place and seemed most likely to hire a kid," says Havemann. He was taken on as a $15-a-week baseball and football writer, two sports that he knew nothing about. Shifted to rewrite man, Havemann ground...
