It was for all book editors I knew.<BR/><BR/>Many writers I asked to review Studs' books said they knew him and had been interviewed by him and liked him immensely, but they thought they could write a honest and objective review if they disclosed their connection.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't do that, of course. When you've been touched by Studs, it is always profoundly. That's impossible to shake.<BR/><BR/>So I ended up asking young writers who had never encountered him to do the reviews of his books.HENRY KISORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366450710995335659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-88875048079631798252008-11-01T16:51:00.000-05:002008-11-01T16:51:00.000-05:00At a forum I once heard a book review editor say h...At a forum I once heard a book review editor say he found it difficult to find unbiased critics to cover Studs' new books because he knew and was a friend to them all.

I knew Studs but was not close to him, so I don't know the truth.<BR/><BR/>As a radio interviewer he did wear headphones, and I'm sure these helped him remain on the job well into his 80s.HENRY KISORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366450710995335659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4264664035215127547.post-20416281093409087532008-11-01T09:34:00.000-05:002008-11-01T09:34:00.000-05:00Did Studs ever do anything about his increasing de...Did Studs ever do anything about his increasing deafness?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
