Manila, 13 September—It used to be that Septembers were a big deal in the Old Newsroom because it was LJM and MRP’s birth month, and this meant lots of free food every now and then. On the day itself, there was usually a catering set-up, and there’d be dinner for everyone who worked in the newsroom that night. Once, I remember there was a live string quartet at the lobby.
