When Dow Jones launched a pioneering newsweekly, the National Observer, Born became a founding editor. An artistic success but a commercial failure, the Observer folded, and Born became Washington editor of another Dow Jones publication, Barron's. He later served as a writing consultant to the Detroit News. His memos to the News staff were the basis of his book, THE SUSPENDED SENTENCE: A GUIDE FOR WRITERS (Scribner's, Iowa State University Press), which was favorably reviewed. The Christian Science Monitor said "it has already earned its place next to Fowler on the short shelf of classics for writers." He lives in Sykesville, Maryland.visualizza meno
