Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Plots and Personalities: A New Method of Testing and Training the Creative Imagination For seventeen years I was hired to read the London "Times" every day. The "Times" presents an unpromising exterior. The front page, instead of the shrieking head-lines of an American paper, designed to give the impression that this is the first day of the Apocalypse, is one gray mass of minor advertisements. But running down the middle of the page is a column of more general interest although it is headed "Personal." I have often found myself fascinated by these Personal advertisements when I should have been digging out facts about foreign affairs in the pages beyond. Here was a part of the paper where the authors paid for permission to print instead of being paid to write. They wrote what they pleased, not what the editor wanted them to write. They were intensely earnest for the most part, often in dire distress. This section of the paper is with good reason called the "agony column," for here is real tragedy intermingled with comedy and commercialism.
