    Lenny's interview with Marilyn Nissenson brought fond memories. No paper had as many great reporters/critics,columnists. Names like Sylvia F. Porter, Jack Newfeld, Harriet Johnson,Richard Watts, Archer Winston, Jerry Mitchel, Max Lerner even Barry Gray as well as those mentioned like Kempton, Wilson, Lyons, Wechsler etc flash into mind. Sylvia Porter was among the first financial writer .
