Inspiration from Cleveland



OK, we'll admit it. Today's Star front page engages in the, um, highest form of flattery for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In other words, we saw a great idea the Sunday edition of the Cleveland newspaper - the cost of holiday travel in light of rising gas prices - and decided to imitate it on our front page.
Susan Goldberg, the editor of the Plain Dealer, has relatives in Anniston. So I decided to come clean earlier this week.

Susan,
Thought the Page 1 holiday travel story and chart was great.
We admired it so much we're attempting our own version.
Just thought I should come clean lest you visit your in-laws in Anniston this Thanksgiving and notice it
Guess that makes me a full-disclosure thief, right?
