LPS5, this has got to be one of the strangest colloquies I've ever had on SI. I assumed that you had mis-spoken. This is definitely not an editorial but rather an opinion column. Here is the Opinion page of the Post. You can see where it is listed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Post Editorials Stay Resolute on Rebuilding The Hospital That Could Changing the Culture -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Op-Ed Columns Tax Cuts Obscure The Real Debate (By David S. Broder) Germans as Victims (By Anne Applebaum) A Nixonian Quest? (By Robert J. Samuelson) Fact-Free News (By Harold Meyerson) Anglicans' Undoing (By George F. Will) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Letters to the Editor A Capital Idea That Still Needs Legs Earth Calling D.C. A Hard Row We All Hoe Not Flush Enough for This Toilet ---------------------- Is this discussion weird or what? <g> Or maybe there's some history here that I, being new to the thread, just don't get...

Hi LPS5, So you're saying it's not an editorial? You should probably tell the Washington Post that, since their placement of it in the op-ed section seems to rather definitively negate that assertion. Well, it's definitely presented in the Opinion section by the WP, but the only opinion I see is that the author thinks we should be aware of this extensive study. Yes, the author makes a few observations but the statistical data forming the heart of the article should be legitimately placed in the "Fact" column, don't you think? --fl
