"namurT staeB yeweD" :-) On a tangential note, a headline like "Uber Eats driver accused of killing customer during delivery" could potentially use some *punctuation". Or at least some non-breaking spaces so that a carriage-return doesn't happen at an unfortunate spot.

I hope everybody noticed the EARTHQUAKE-metaphor in a certain scene! :-) -Doug Elrod (d...@cornell.edu) P.S. I wonder how many other movies have a dramatic COLLATION scene? From: Mary Block Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2018 10:29 AM Best movie I have seen in years. Having spent my childhood in a small-town newspaper office, I especially loved seeing the old linotype machines and wondered where they found actual working equipment. Those are very high maintenance. I could just smell the ink and to lead. The scene where the Ben Bakdagian character brings in the bag of out of town papers and dumps them on the desk to show the support for the Post made me start to cry. 😢 But joyful tears. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
