Fans of such newspaper double-entendres should check out the Columbia
Journalism Review, which carries a regular feature, "The Lower case",
devoted to such mistakes (mostly in headlines).  From a recent issue:

	TV Trashy, Right Wing
	Mediocre, Says Sociologist

	Late bus coordinator remembered

	League members not only cooked and served 110 children a day,
	at a cost of 8 centers per child, but also cleaned up when
	they were done, said Alice Mizell.

	Park ends spraying Dutch for elm disease

	How to combat that feeling of helplessness with illegal drugs

	Actor reveals he's AAA member

	Man minus ear waives hearing

	Retired priest may marry Springsteen

	D.C. Street Vendors Get New Curbs Today

A collection of the best of 19 years of this feature, "Squad Helps Dog
Bite Victim", has been published by Doubleday & Company.
