When I aw half-empty bottles of beer, half-finished bags of potato chips and spilled glasses of Coke on the coffee table recently in the Queen’s Park press lounge, I knew that someone must have yelled: “Bomb,” “Fire,” or “The boss is coming!” Something scary has happened to cause this kind of panic in the press gallery because in all the years that [...]
