I think the arguments for the vampire metaphor sound like propaganda
(not meant in a bad way), and our coverage of the demonstrations is more
to inform people who are already sympathetic (since that's our
readership).

The current boring, somewhat cliche header describes the content that
follows.  I think symbolism in the header upstages the content and in a
small way makes it harder for a reader to parse.

Though, looking at it, "TABD" in the red header portion is easily
missed, and the main title has no mention of the TABD -- that *should*
be changed, as it's a functional problem.
