How about this for a Crimson lede?

North Korea’s alleged nuclear test this week occurred deep underground in a mountain tunnel in the North Hamgyong Province, but in its aftermath, the world’s eyes are on Harvard Square.

Um...no. They really aren't.
 
Comments:
Classic.
 
Hmmm... maybe the Yale Daily News will respond to the Crimson piece by publishing an investigative piece as to why the media aren't soliciting their institution for experts :-).
 
How about today's headline: "Plane Crashes into Soph’s Building." No, it is not a story about something that happened at Winthrop House. It is the Crimson's coverage of the Lidle tragedy, carrying the sub-headline: Single-engine aircraft piloted by Yankee pitcher hits one floor above student’s condo. Here's the question: what is the cure for this level of narcissism?
 
its good then good then
