“Saw you having coffee with Trish,” Janowitz said, wearing his usual troublemaking grin. Sometimes he reminded me of a manure salesman with a mouth full of samples. “She tell you about her raise?”

“What raise?”

“Because of the Linwood story,” he said smugly. “She got hers early. Probably unprecedented for somebody to get a merit raise so soon in this newsroom.”

New hires are not reviewed for raises until after six months on the job. He watched expectantly for my reaction.

“Nice,” I said affably. “She didn’t mention it.”

“She’s the golden-haired girl around here right now. Can do no wrong. Hear they assigned her to interview Gloria Estefan on her yacht.”

“Somebody’s gotta do it.” I smiled sweetly.

“Why don’t I get those kinda plums?”

Every new reporter who creates a splash with a good run of stories enjoys a honeymoon during which the desk showers him or her with the best assignments. It never lasts, and soon it’s someone else’s turn.
