San Diego reporters become PR agents
Those who choose Calif. Conservation Corps, early manhood at Mataguay, hard to move the SD airport, getting the hydrilla out of Lake Murray, why Tijuana makes sense for business
Reporters Bernie Hunt, Mike Walker, Craig MacDonald, Dick Carlson, Otto Bos, Tom Gable — all became flaks
Twist and Shout
There are a lot of reasons for reporters to take up public relations. The prospect of making more money is one. A good journeyman at the Union or the Tribune these days makes about $25,000 per year, the highest pay in the county with the exception of that at the Los Angeles Times.

Stephanie Martin: “Women aren’t as likely to come here with problems."
Low pay, hard work, miserable conditions
On his first day on the job at Escondido, he was put to work clearing debris from the San Diego River on a gypsy moth control project. “I was up to my waist in the swamps ail day. I never worked so hard in my life, In jail you only get to know maybe a couple people because they don’t know if you’re a snitch, if you’ll steal from them, or what. Here, I get to know each one like a friend.”

Jeff and Joey, two close friends on the near shore of puberty, blond, polite, aged sixteen and fifteen, fishing fanatics.

Lindbergh Field, an airport that many planners and aviation experts consider too small, poorly located, and unsafe.
There's trouble down the runway
“For the runways alone you need a hunk of flat ground two miles long and half a mile wide. It should have enough acreage to accommodate terminal and parking, and it should be far enough from existing housing to make noise and safety of minimal concern. Most importantly, it should be easily accessible to a large percentage of the population, which eliminates the desert."

Murphy has said that once the hydrilla is under control, boating and fishing on the lake could resume.
The thing that ate Lake Murray
Officials have closed the lake to all recreation, turning what was once hoped to be a pearl of the city’s park system into little more than a neglected, forgotten pond, San Diego’s version of the Dead Sea. Simmons and others charge that city, county, and stage agencies have moved slowly and ineffectively to cope with the problem.

Sewco's Jerry Robbins says the fifty- to seventy-five-cent savings is “the best you can do. Most of the time it works out to be much less than that.”
U.S. factories in Tijuana — good for everyone?
Mulcahy and his partner expanded to the Tijuana plant in 1977, at first hiring fewer than two dozen Mexican employees, including a Mexican manager. (Mulcahy acquired a condo at Coronado Shores.) He says today the Tijuana branch has grown to include almost 600 people.
