"San Francisco's Camper English invented a home method for making clear ice that's now celebrated around the world" 

is the dek to this story in the San Jose Mercury News with the headline "‘The Ice Book’ traces a cocktail writer’s obsession with designing perfect, diamond-clear ice".

The story is only available to subscribers unfortunately, but here is one of the photos by Karl Mondon. It's so dorky I love it. 

Update: The story got syndicated so it appeared in lots of publications and you can read one of them here.
