How Mickey Carlton gave The Review some punch by Bhreandáin Clugston Editor During one week in 1963 the phrase “What a difference a week makes” was never truer. The Richmond Review of May 23, 1963 was a typical issue full of politeness. The lead story was “Richmond Days big success,” and the front page was peppered with snapshots of a toddler and dressmaker’s fashion show winner, and dotted with briefs such as “Visitors from Scotland” (about a pair of Glaswegians in town for
Steveston Seafood & Wine Festival
a three-month holiday), Cambie school’s honour roll and Dennis May’s 21st birthday. One week later, The Review’s lead story screamed “YOUNGSTER HURLED 20 FEET BY AUTO IMPACT” and a rather graphic picture of “battered and bleeding fiveyear-old Bobby” being attended to on the road (a picture that wouldn’t run in today’s Richmond Review). Take the aforementioned Little Bobby, for example. As lurid and, some would say, sensational as the story seemed, it did touch on pathos
and social commentary, for Bobby was a foster child, whose parents were deemed unfit to raise him. “He lay on the road crying, bleeding and hurt. Everything possible is being done to mend his pathetic little body. “But nothing can be done to mend the hurt in the heart of a little boy waiting in hospital for a mommy and daddy who will never come.” The clue to this sudden change in the paper’s tone is in the cutline: photo by Mickey Carlton.
