I realize that the desire was to write an article about the upcoming retirement of Smith College's president, but did you really have to go with a Dek (subheadline) of "Search underway to replace Christ"? Don't you think religious issues have been making headlines enough recently?

Yours most sincerely,

It could be worse. seanan_mcguire's newest book had me in stitches on multiple train rides. It's very much along the lines of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'd be happy to loan it to you and mabfan.

I'm not sure I could have resisted drafting the headline, myself. Too much fun.

To be followed, no doubt, by "Faust makes deal with Harvard."
