Daily News | Joseph H. Ball, advertising executive, publisher, ‘copy boy’ — and ‘newspaper man’ — dies at 93
The time would come when at his invitation, the likes of first ladies Nancy Reagan and Betty Ford, Princess Grace Kelly, former Secretary of State Alexander Haig, and actress/super model Brooke Shields all would come to Philadelphia.
True enough. As a calling, copy boy has gone the way of the lamplighter, and it never was a ticket to the bright lights. It meant running errands, getting coffee, taking orders from sometimes irascible reporters, retrieving clips from the newspaper “morgue,” the ghoulish journalistic term for library.
“He lasted one week, one body,” said Sandra Ball. That inspired him to seek work at the nearest big building, the one occupied by The Inquirer and Daily News. He was hired and assigned to The Inquirer city desk., a legendary columnist for The Inquirer and later the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, his wife said.In 1949 he began writing stories for the company house organ, “Home Edition,” run by the Promotions Department.
Do not hear the first “no.” Persevere, persevere, persevere. Avoid being the richest person in the cemetery. “He loved people,” she said. “His interest in knowing what made you what your are or what you do, was fascinating. His whole world was about people, and connecting with people, and her really wanted to let that go.”

Breakingviews - Teck swats dealmaking ball back into its own courtReaching for Plan C is rarely a good sign. Canadian miner Teck Resources on Wednesday tore up Plan A, which was a scheduled shareholder vote on splitting the company. It withdrew the plan at the eleventh hour because it lacked support, in part because it was too fiddly, with cash flow from its coal unit helping its metals business excavate copper for a while. Boss Jonathan Price and controlling shareholder Norman Keevil also are rejecting Plan B, an even more intricate, all-share $24 billion takeover bid from Glencore . If Teck doesn’t come up with a persuasive third option, and soon, it is likely to face increased pressure to sell.
