    Dwyre's hardly a bad newspaperman, but his undisguised glee at The National's demise
    was a blow to any inkstained wretch trying to earn more than, say, eight cents a day . . .

    Talent on the beach that could be picked up at more reasonable price than at the
    Monopoly-money levels Deford's patron was tossing around like confetti . . .
     
  5. The National also signed Ostler away from poor Bill, who stamped his tiny feet for two years about it.

    I think "thebiglead" is the correct answer, and no, I didn't click on your site. So there.
