And that big pic for the "all about the budget" story looks really good. The copy I picked up today had perfect offset and looked really nice. I personally didn't care for the use of the word "despondent", because that makes it sound like the police shot him because he was depressed. I realize that this probably wasn't your doing, though. Ah, I miss the world of newspapers sometime! Sometimes it's fun to critically examine the layout of news pages, and whenever I do that in front of laypeople they think I'm crazy.
