Welcome A special greeting to the many subscribers who have joined as a result of World Wide Words being featured in three publications in the past week: by John McIntyre in his You Don't Say column in the Baltimore Sun last Saturday, by Eric Zorn in the Chicago Tribune on Sunday, and by Randy Cassingham in his This is True newsletter under the heading Bonzer Web Site of the Week. He features events from the news that are bizarre but true — I've been a subscriber for many years.
