Before trading my press pass for a law license, I once worked for Swasy in a land far far away.......you'll need the following tools to be a success under her command: integrity, grit, willing to trade copy for chocolate; also a supply of masking tape and a rolling chair (to be explained by Swasy herself) and a great sense of humor.....Congratulations to The News Journal -- you won't find a better, more honorable journalist. --Terry Mutchler, Illinois Public Access Counselor, Assistant Attorney General
