"[Edna's] idea of a successful lead is one that might cause a reader who is having breakfast with his wife to 'spit out his coffee, clutch his chest, and say, "My God, Martha! Did you read this!"' When Edna went to Fort Lauderdale not long ago to talk about police reporting with some of the young reporters in the Herald's Broward County bureau, she said, 'For sanity and survival, there are three cardinal rules in the newsroom: Never trust an editor, never trust an editor, never trust an editor.'"
