[stylist] who checks the details?

[Barbara Hammel]

They were errors that were made probably in the print copy.  You know how 
you write a story and decide to change something or forget what you wrote 
the first time.  Example being the guy was a baseball player but it 
mentioned him getting a football scholarship.  Huh?  The grandpa died in 
January sometime but ever after the original incident it happened at 
Christmas.  The boy's family moved away in June but once it mentioned them 
moving in the winter.  Stuff like that.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
