“You know, I actually graduated thinking I’d report the news?” says Hollis dreamily.

“Didn’t you ever intern anywhere?”

“The First Amendment!” says Hollis. “War correspondents in their noble vests!”

Landon shakes his head. “And then you started working here. That’s one way to get an education.”

Hollis drags the headline a little bigger. “What do you think?”

Landon glances at it. “Check the morgue file first,” he says, “we don’t want to repeat ourselves.”
