How Wisconsin shaped a horror legend

Robert Bloch was a familiar name to me. I had read some of his horror stories, I knew he was the author of “Psycho,” and I’d seen the Alfred Hitchcock movie based on it. But one thing I didn’t know until last month: Bloch, legendary author of horror, fantasy and science fiction books, and screenplays — including episodes of the original Star Trek series — lived and worked in Wisconsin for much of his life.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Editor Greg Borowski Knows Better Than This. For Shame! [JESS NOTES 11/12]

I know Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Editor Greg Borowski knows better than this. He just does. C’mon, Greg! Get real. I used to sit across from Greg in the newsroom before I decided to pursue a teaching career instead (it’s hard to have a young kid in journalism.) Greg was a good reporter. To be honest, I never really saw him as having editor potential, though. He was too introverted and a bit surly. More like an intense absent-minded scientist type in a rumpled shirt with a lot of intensity boiling inside (not that different from his brother, who is one of the only sane #Milwaukee County judges, David Borowski, and one of the most bombastic). Pity the poor readers who called the newsroom to complain and got an earful from Greg. I heard him blow a gasket a few times.
