Sounds like the ladies of the Rochester area should know where to go to when they want to be caressed with objective content.

 

Seems unlikely, since Gannett is all about keeping it short.

 

Not the size of the waves, but the motion of the ocean. At least that's what Craig Dubow likes to say.

 

It's an every-day industry term.

 

I'm aware, but just wanted to make a joke. Maybe start a humorous conversation. Maybe even talk about other papers who are tops at this. Who knows?
