BRACK: There’s no one in the South filling the void that Ralph McGill left

By Elliott Brack | |  It’s fulfilling and fun to go back and re-read some of what you have read before. Heading for a doctor’s appointment, and not having a book for the waiting room, at the GwinnettForum office I pulled from the shelf a small book from more than 50 years ago. Its title was “The Fleas Come with the Dog,” by the late editor and publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, Ralph McGill, a giant of a man.
