This just in: Cuomo's office sends me documents!

In surprisingly quick fashion, they arrived via e-mail, after I sought them under New York state law in a Jan. 7 request to the Office of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (left). To be honest, I never expected so much as a computer-generated reply. I certainly didn't imagine my request would actually get filled, at no charge -- and all, in under three weeks. Thank you, General Cuomo!

  4. Note how I cropped Cuomo's photo. Question: Within Gannett, is that what you call a "Rochester crop"?

  5. Jim,

    I've heard that sort of tight photo crop referred to as that. It was popular at the Democrat and Chronicle in the 1970s.

    Bunch of editors who had worked there brought it to The Sun-Bulletin in Binghamton when the paper was purchased by Gannett in 1970.

    73s,

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
