To the editor.Dear Editor: Wasn't that a fine article inviting the membership to Little Rock for the 2008 convention? ("Little Rock: the political, literary, cultural and scandal center of the universe." The Masthead mast·head n. 1. Nautical The top of a mast. 2. The listing in a newspaper or periodical of information about its staff, operation, and circulation. 3. , Autumn 2005.) All of us here are delighted our bid was accepted, and are already planning a memorable convention. There was just one problem with the article. Through a mix-up, it carried my byline, but it was actually written by Kane Webb, assistant editorial page editor of the Democrat-Gazette, and one of your co-hosts come '08. The only thing I did to it was what I always do when editing Kane's copy: slightly disimprove it. Apologetically a·pol·o·get·ic also a·pol·o·get·i·cal adj. 1. Offering or expressing an apology or excuse: an apologetic note; an apologetic smile. 2. , Paul Greenberg Editorial Page Editor, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, commonly abbreviated locally as the Dem-Gaz or Demgaz, is a daily newspaper published in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Trained by D. : Patti may be of the habit of disimproving Kane's copy, but 'twas I that disimproved the byline in the Autumn Masthead story. My apologies to both Paul and Kane. |
