There is a machine behind this site.
Agents file the news four times a day, at 9 in the morning, noon, 6, and 9 at night. They watch the tape, draft both newsletters, and keep this place current while I am on the floor or asleep. What you are reading is the output. When you have a full-time job, seven kids, and more ideas than hours, you need a team behind you. This is mine.
