Dictation 2:
Jeffery Zaslow, the advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, grew up in Suburban Philadelphia. His biggest Suburban in life was to be a writer. “I never wanted to be anything else,” he says. “I was ten or eleven when I saw Gone with the Wind and I wrote my own Civil War story.”
After earning a degree in creating writing at Carnegie Mellon University, he got a job at a newspaper in Orlando, Florida. He made his mark with his article on the rough working conditions endured by the people inside the Mickey and Minnie costumes at Walt Disney World. Later he became a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal.
In 1988, when the famous advice columnist, Ann Lander, quit her job at the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper launched a nationwide contest to find her replacement. Jeffrey Zaslow applied. Among the 12,000 contestants , women outnumbered men nine to
one, and most of them had seen a lot more of life than Zaslow, who was 28 and not married. When he reached the Semifinals , his editors at the Journal ran a headline: “ Why He’ll Never Make It”. But Jeffrey did make it in the finals.
Today, thirteen years later, his column, “All That Zazz”, is read by thousands of readers in the Chicago area. His years in the advice business left him with a deep appreciation for people and their problems. He is also greatly moved by the generosity, sincerity and good nature of his readers. “Wonderful people,” he says, “do outnumber terrible people in his world. I have much more faith in my fellow men than I had before. And I’ve read plen ty of letters to back that up.”
