                    [Summary] => DOT ON THE MAP: The late Manila Times editor Jose Luna Castro would remind his cub reporters in the 1960s not to indulge in so-called "Afghanistanism."


I have always suspected that JoeLuna picked up that term in Syracuse U in upstate New York where he earned his Masters in journalism. Afghanistanism was the term used then in US newsrooms for copy that was dull and irrelevant to American readers.
