FLATTERY IN A FEW WORDS

Our versifier laureate penned “effuse words” about Straight Up’s new design:
Three cheers!!! hurrahs!!! huzzahs!!!
I gladly take up
For your scintillating, eye-pleasing
Improved make-up.
As well as your jabbing comments,
It gets the mind jogging
And provides a clean, well-lighted
Design for blogging.
— Leon Freilich
But don’t take him for a pushover. In re: “N.Y. Times Must Look Beyond Its Urban, Liberal Base”, he sent this, too.
A NOD TO THE RIGHT
Time to reach out, declares Bill Keller,
Time for the lion to lie down with the lamb.
And lo! A week of Times front pages
Is duly devoted to Billy Graham.
