So reader Joe Schimps [Viewpoint, Aug. 28] thinks a chimpanzee could put together the Morning Briefing better than Mal Florence? I seriously doubt that a chimp (or Schimps) would be able to handle the five to six hours it takes to assemble a single Briefing, three or four of which are needed merely to cull the material.
Daily newspapers from around the country were the source used by the late Harley Tinkham, originator of the Briefing, and Mal's best friend. Though a lot can be found on the Internet today, 25-30 papers still need to be accessed weekly.
