We see Ed Guthman, once big-time editor at the LALATimes and the StinkyInky, has died. He worked during the golden days, the former when we could stop a war and ditch a president, the latter a platinum era of 50,000-word snail darter stories. Oh, there was an age, when you as a newsman ruled the universe, when a computer was only a doohickey that printed labels on magazines. We're not sure we want to go back to the days when newsmen knew everything, and went on tangents proclaiming it, but we're not sure this new age is appreciably better.
