Last week, for example, an editor claimed his paper was the first in his city to report the Mayor's "impending retirement." But, judging from the next day's edition of the same paper, the Mayor had other ideas.

From where I sit, facts and tenth always win out, no matter how yon disguise them. That roes for newspapers as well as for neighbors. For instance, your choice of beverage may be a glass of iced tea ... mine is an occasional glass of beer. Now each of us could make up. quite a "story" about which of us is right.
