From the Editorial Board: ' This Editorial Board celebrates a half century of Clarence Page’s reporting and opining on a tumultuous collection of world events, some written from Chicago, some from Page’s longtime perch in Washington.'
On June 1, 1973, Clarence Page began 50 years as a staff writer and columnist for the Chicago Tribune. Since that day, readers have warmed to Page’s honesty, generosity, perspicacity and wit.
Page’s writing for the Tribune even extends before 1973, but the young Page took a few pauses. This weekend, though, the Editorial Board celebrates a half century of Page’s reporting and opining on a tumultuous collection of world events, some written from Chicago, some from Page’s longtime perch in Washington.
We hope you enjoy these extracts of the work of our much-loved, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and Editorial Board member.July 29, 1984: ‘Michael Jackson, come home!If the Jacksons want to do some social good and improve their image, they should bring the Victory Tour to their hometown, Gary, our much-maligned neighbor to the south.
It may be hard to believe, but the Jacksons are in hot water back home, as one recent incident illustrates. It happened about three weeks ago at a break-dance contest in Gary West High School. The master of ceremonies, a local promoter named Bobby Wilson, of Eagle Entertainment, was trying to fire up the crowd of 2,000 youngsters. He shouted, “Do you want Michael Jackson to come home to Gary?”
