THE FINAL
WORD
PETERSBORO, Utah -- Gloom like a Bulwer-Lyttonesque
pall hung heavily over the Cache Valley as
word came that the WORD had gone.
"As he stared at her ample bosom, he
daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors
in his vintage Triumph Spitfire. . . ."
No, wait. . . . That's actual Bulwer-Lyttonism.
Scratch it.
We conclude, with joy and trumpets and a tankard
or two, the 10th season of TODAY'S WORD ON
JOURNALISM. What began in 1995 as a professor's
strategy to get his students to read email
(guess that worked!) now has spread, birdflu-like,
far beyond that unwilling audience to self-flagellating
WORD volunteers on five-and-a-half continents.
But the willing and unwilling alike--the halt
and addled and addicted and deluded--will
have to get a life and smell the roses, for
a while anyway.
Today marks the end of the WORD for this academic
season. Even ere the rosy dawn that didth
bust o'er this glade, this vale, this happy
home. . . . ooops. Avert already, Sir Bulwer,
you mangy cur!!!!
GOODIES
INSIDE:
Children and parents
were invited to walk the streets of downtown Logan
on Saturday to fill their Easter baskets with
goodies from merchants. Participants had an Easter
bunny hanging in their windows
to let people know they were giving out treats.
