While mixing trash with recycling is no laughing matter, I could not help but smile at your choice for lead story on the May 19 front page.

A quick glance at the less prominently placed stories of the day shows children in India trying to gather water as the Earth’s climate continues to grow hotter, Venezuela imploding amid economic and political strife, earthquakes in Ecuador, a fatal shooting weapon sold online, etc.

A visitor from away might find the placement of the story quaintly parochial, and this reader would have to agree. Perhaps it could have appeared on the front of the local section.

At least you had the good sense to relegate to Page A4 the article, complete with photo, about the fellow who had the penis transplant.
