My favorite? The poverty headline.

That had to be intentional.

Ryan,
Did I ever mention the best headline I ever wrote? It was in the very early 90s and a University of Arkansas swimmer was suing the school for something.
I accidentally backed the story into a one-column hole, making it even tougher for myself, then came up with...

UA swimmer
drops suit


My career took a dive after that ... get it, a dive?
