Like Ole, I too was originally taught to expose paper for the shadows
(having inspected the negatives first for "detail" so as not to attempt =
to
try print it where it didn't exist) and then control the rendition of =
the
highlight tones with the paper grade (then VC filters). Later, on upon
reading and talking to others, I did it the way Ralph discusses, =
now...<- I
had a wordy section in here about what it is I do now, but I guess it =
comes
down to the collected experience of (decades) in the darkroom and what
"works" for me. ->
I'm curious to know what others take on this is (the exposing/contrast
issue, not my inability to succinctly express myself), and more
particularly, why.

That was unfortunate advise! Expose paper for the highlights and control =
the
shadows with contrast. That works much better in almost all cases.
