It was one of those headlines on the front page of the June 9 print issue that has no actual story. I guess it didn't make it to their web site.

I saw something on the internet about The Printed Word but didn't understand that it was referring to words printed with ink onto paper! :twitchy:
I think they had that when I was a schoolboy but that was a long time ago.
