Back by popular passive-aggressive nudging.
An article about “what most teenagers lust for”: a driving license, which some Assembly lawmakers want to make contingent on school attendance to the age of 18 absent a hardship waiver; CHP is suing a whistleblower, running the tab up to $619k; the Pope has kept his “focus on the problem” of Catholic clergy committing sex crimes. Lifestyle corner is about recreational use of American River Parkway trail.

Did they cover any local celebrations of 420? I happened to be in Golden Gate Park near the carousel yesterday, with some other parents and little kids. The meadow was thronged with scruffy teenagers and twenty-somethings. We didn’t get what was happening until we asked somebody. Just then it turned 4:20 — a cheer went up from the crowd, and then a drift of smoke.

I guess times have changed. When I was a teen I really, really WANTED my license. But I LUSTED after something else.

I’m glad to see this feature return. I thought of making an above the fold daily feature for some old newspaper* but finding regular front page images – much less images that show the fold – is probably too difficult using only free databases. Finding individual articles isn’t so hard.
*Say, a century or so ago, but maybe less because those all text all the time papers are kind of numbing visually.
