The New Look

Don't like the new look... EE Cummings already used the lower case construction to great effect; it's been done there and really doesn't fit into journalism, IMHO...

The old masthead has tremendous historical significance as a symbol and should't have been pushed into a slanted murky background (in favor of a san serif tag) like some thought that can no longer be recognized as either a dream or a true recollection.

Also, I know it's the beginning of the school year but there's not one dateline 8/22/06 story on today's splash page (it's 8/22/06 today...).

I assume the paper was actually published today, right? We're not all in Ithaca any longer...

Keep up the good work.
