Article Abstract:
The editor of The Mirror recounts a horrific travel and stay at Indianapolis, where he went for a Society of Newspaper Design workshop. He relates how each of the planes he boarded for the flight to Indianapolis was delayed by thunderstorms. Subsequent to his arrival at Indianapolis, he found that the hotel room he had booked for himself was already occupied, and he was compelled to shift to another hotel. He had to stand in a long queue while checking out of the hotel, and the shuttle was unavailable as its driver had overslept.
