Editor of the editorial page at the Des Moines Register, DENNIS RYERSON. RYERSON and the staff are putting out the paper during the floods, without running water or electricty; they work in daylight with pencils and typewriters. RYERSON was in the unique position to report on the near fistfight between the Des Moines mayor and its city council over the right time to turn on the city's water supply.
