Was anybody else amused by the quote from the man who is lamenting the sorry state of written expression?

"We're trying to say: 'Hey, ladies and gentlemen, this is a very serious matter for our society'," said C. Peter Magrath, commission chairman and president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges.

What an opening. CNN chose to put this quote in a box on the page. Those editors -- what imps!
