Forgive me, but I can't resist the urge to pick nits since I was a designer
for the Charlotte Observer newspaper some years ago. In those days, before
the British tabloids (in particular) tarnished the image of tabloids, the
term "tabloid" referred to the *size* of the newspaper, not the layout
style or content.

When USA Today first hit the newstands, it was thought to look like
anything *but* a newspaper, and was widely scorned and criticized by
newspaper folk.... those same newspaper folk who have now redesigned their
papers after the USA Today model.
