Marathon Man
Inspiration
The person who inspired me to become a journalist was Ernest Hemingway, who was a reporter and war correspondent besides being one of America's great novelists. I first read Hemingway, I guess, in high school, "The Son Also Rises," in which a foreign correspondent is one of the characters. I was in Havana in November, and stopped by one of Hemingway's old haunts, the Floridita bar. Here I am having a drink with Hem. Looks like I spilled some on my shirt, or maybe he spilled it. Hem could be a sloppy drunk sometimes.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDYfmgKX3N-gSjtWh7T6-iE-kEi0ujUPRzI_R0NZ-UCzscOt2ok23TyyeC1Hck5oNCrqdv496LIlNBq8x2Q9bR7bVJmxxkcYp2oN2ah3KzU26GPF3Y1dQYcdZO40wq2bpcV-12hGnm0fk/s320/Me+and+Hem.JPG)
