The basic trouble is that Daily copy editors are mean.  Meanness is all part and parcel of being a good copy editor.   Just look at Kathy.  These days spends a good deal of her time  with large farm animals.  Cows don\'t produce copy to be scrutinized and corrected.  It allows her to get in touch with a vestigial supportive, nurturing instinct.  But then she gets in her car and drives to work...editing.
