    Funny thing about web heads, on columns and news stories at least. You like to be tight, but you also can't be TOO short, it just looks weird. So sometimes you actually have to pad with a few words.

    Although having typed that, I guess upon further review, it's no different than a 6-42-1 in which you could say exactly you wanted in 3 columns. It's just that ALL of our headlines are basically 6-42-1s.
