Caption:
Desk men--and women--in the newspaper office edit the work of reporters and the seemingly endless stream of copy from news wire services. They write the headlines and check for accuracy. They are expected to be versed in grammar and spelling and to have a functional knowledge of current literature and world affairs. They must be accurate, fair, understanding, curious, skeptical. Stingy with precious space, their motto is: "There's nothing so good it can't be cut." (Third of a series)
