What we're always looking for: a story well told

In my daily search for newspaper front pages to hang on my office door, I came across this story on the cover of the Las Vegas Sun. Someone once said every edition of your paper ought to have a special gift for the reader: a story well told, a feature that is simply a treat to read. This story combines sports and an untimely death, which you may not regard as much of a treat. But the writer, Ron Kantowski, puts together the elements of good journalism -- thorough reporting and fine writing -- to tell a gripping story. I recommend it to your attention.
