Memo
To: The Associated Press writer who came up with today's lead story for the Herald-Whig
From: All the News
Re: Springfields
Please note that Lincoln made his transition to the White House from Springfield, Illinois, not Springfield, Missouri. I know it all looks the same from 30,000 feet, but down here in flyover country we try to maintain a few little distinctions.
cc: Herald-Whig copy editors . . . you might want to read the AP stuff before you paste it in. Even the Associated Press makes a mistake now and then.

Last week the Whig ran duplicate AP storys on two facing pages of the business section.
One was edited to be slightly shorter than the other but it was the exact same story on both pages.
Yesterday the H-W ran this AP story:
Like
FDR,
Obama
faces
crises
Crises is the 8th album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1983. Oldfield's well known "Moonlight Shadow" appears on the album.
