Which Reminds Me

In fact, one day I remember Andy saying exactly that shortly after the Sentinel bought us out. We were talking about that, having scooped the daily on something, and Andy just laughed and cackled and said that we were so ridiculous, that as far as he was concerned this whole thing about weeklies competing with dailies was now officially over, that we must accept our sub-standard position as ranking pathetically underneath the Sentinel forever after. We are not even really reporters, only staff writers, so we should not imagined ourselves in any way licensed to practice journalism. So we got the message that basically there will be no path to advancement to the daily Sentinel, that we are just rats hopelessly caught in a trap if we choose to stay at the Forum. So probably that explains why a lot of people left eventually. Enough said about that.
