Jeffery Zaslow, the advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, grew up in Philadelphia. His biggest in life was to be a writer. I never wanted to be anything else, he says. I was ten or eleven when I saw Gone with the Wind and I wrote my own Civil War story. After a degree in creative writing at Carnegie Mellon University, he got a job at a newspaper in Orlando, Florida. He made his mark with his article on the rough working conditions by the people inside the Mickey and Minnie costumes at Walt Disney World. Later he became a writer fro the Wall Street Journal.
In 1988, when the famous advice columnist, Ann Landers, her job at the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper launched a contest to find her replacement. Jeffrey Zaslow applied. Among the 12,000 contestants, women men nine to one, and most of them had seen a lot more of life than Zaslow, who was 28 and not married. Why Hell Never Make It. But Jeffrey did make it in the final.
Today, thirteen years later, his column, All That Zazz, is read by thousands of readers in the Chicago area. He is also greatly moved by the generosity, sincerity and good nature of his readers. Wonderful people, he says, do outnumber terrible people in this world.
