In 1981, WOR-AM in New York was the number one radio station in the country. A lot of it had to do with the newsroom (I say somewhat immodestly; I was morning drive editor and a street reporter there at the time). This view of the newsroom features sports reporter Don Criqui, seated, and New York radio news legend Lester Smith. Leica M-4, 35mm Summicron, Tri-X, Microdol-X 1:3
