I completed 28 years of journalism. In all these years, I have had only three obsessive causes: the easing of discrimination against blacks, the attenuation of the policy that bars the entry of employees over 40 years old in private companies and the humanization of prisons. Even when I was an exclusively sports writer, I enthusiastically championed these three causes in my comments, even though my position had always been isolated and without repercussions.
