BRACK: Gwinnett may total more than 500,000 registered voters for primary

By Elliott Brack | Years ago, while at the Gwinnett County printing plant of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when occasionally guiding groups on plant tours in the news print storage area, often people would ask ”How much newsprint do you use?”

We had the answer. In those days, we used a lot of newsprint, as they do today.  But after a while, since people could not comprehend and interpret the fine points of usage, I would just say “Big number.”
