Greatest hits

I was up late Thursday night wondering when we'd see our first post-merger Crystal Bridges story in the Daily Record. They were so prevalent beforehand, and it would be a shame if the people of Benton County didn't know ever detail about each brick and each stone, without a full feature on the nails that will be used to hold the paintings and a profile of the janitor who will be keeping the museum sparkling. Well there it was this morning, in the only place a Crystal Bridges story ever appears, on the top of page one with a headline (Art Outside the Binding of Books) almost as big as the story. My favorite part is how Crystal Bridges is no longer included in the headline. It has a place of honor above the headline, announcing that you are about to read (or avoid) yet another story about this overrated museum.
The Morning News, meanwhile, also ran the story, using the Daily Record's subhead as its headline (Exhibit Features Stars of Children's Illustrations) and put it on the more appropriate page seven.
I would post a link to the story, but the Northwest Arkansas Newspaper Web site is apparently also tired of so many Crystal Bridges stories and refused to show it.
