Google docs does the same thing (a little less pretty) if...

I’ve been reading about it all day and all I can really say is that my eyeballs feel like they’re swimming in a sea of oatmeal that’s sloshing around where my brain used to live. Any better explanations are welcome. chaelyc @ gmail

In fact, we’ve often wondered what it would be like to be one of them. A Nina Totenberg or a Renita Jablonski. A David Kestenbaum or a Lakshmi...
