At the news museum, they have a “trash 80” displayed. My favorite memory is covering a high school football game in Southern California. My deadline is 1030. The game ends at 10. I insert quotes and go to a pay phone and those couplers to transmit the story. In the middle of the transmission, a big fight breaks out in front of me. I remember 10 (probably more like 5) teenagers were punching and shoving. I turned back and screamed, “Don’t come near me. I’m on deadline.”
