A day of infamy
A brief moment of panic -- no, concern is a better word -- yesterday when we thought the wire services were not moving any Pearl Harbor anniversary story. Not publishing a story about the Japanese surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941, is unthinkable. We've made that mistake in the past and been covered up with complaints. Even though we devoted A2 to the anniversary today -- the wires did send stories and photos -- I still expect to get letters saying that it should have been on the front page. I certainly understand; the attack was a pivotal point in the nation's history and in many of our readers' lives. I'm glad we treated it that way.
A word of caution: my father's birthday is Dec. 7. My birthday is Sept. 11. I'm extra observant on my daughters' birthdays.
