Another Manual Type-Writer


     Having just finished a story for WBHM Radio in Birmingham about three Alabamians who still use manual typewriters, I was interested to read a N.Y. Times story on the same theme...though it focuses on one well-known writer who has pretty much worn out an Ollivetti.
     It's Cormac McCarthy, who's books have been read by millions and turned into movies like "No Country For Old Men". The old, worn  machine is being auctioned off.
   And there's an idea for longtime Birmingham News sportswriter Clyde Bolton, one of the three men in my story. An auction Clyde! An auction! Once you're done with it, of course.
