This story has a funny smell. I suspect a contemporary insult perhaps
invented by a rival journalist. But maybe I only feel that way since I say
"Pewlitzer," as most people did 50 years ago. Happy to know that Jane has
been hearing it. [Wonder if Juan Williams also says "cewlinary," as I do;
that one seems to have bit the dust, too.]
