[Seattle-editorial] Proposal: Weekend Roundup of Bush and Dean Visit

[typist at speakeasy.net]

Gentry,

You know my feelings about updating the features column!  Yes, get it on line.  Run spell check-"approximately" is misspelled and "any one" should be one word.  I'm not the greatest proofreader, so it may need another good look.

Run with it!
Judy

Someone please give Gentry another thumbs up ASAP.
