Dave Barry,
Every absurdity of everyday life — from politics to the species of individuals known as "guys" — is fodder for syndicated columnist Dave Barry. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary, he is also the best-selling author of 29 books. Barry graduated from Haverford College in 1969 and went to work for The Daily Local News, in West Chester, Penn., where he covered a series of incredibly dull municipal meetings, some of which are still going on. In 1975, Barry joined Burger Associates, a consulting firm that teaches effective writing to business people. He spent nearly eight years trying to get his students to stop writing things like "Enclosed please find the enclosed enclosures," but he eventually realized that it was hopeless. In 1983, he took a job at The Miami Herald, and he has been there since, although he never answers the phone.
His column appears in several hundred newspapers, yet another indication of the worsening drug crisis. |
