    So that's where the person who wrote the "Roasted Nuts" headline wound up ... at PR Newswire.

    That looks like an inside slug that made it into the public slug.

    I had a story that I slugged "stripper" even though the woman involved wasn't a stripper. I certainly didn't use it in the paper though!
