READERS KNOW BEST

After the redesign in the USA of the Portland Press Herald, a reader wrote this letter, in response to the paper being slightly downsized by 1.25 inches:

"To The Editors:

So what do I think of the new smaller sized Portland Press Herald?

I would say there are some good things and some bad things.

I always read my paper at the breakfast table all alone. And wow! There's a lot more room for my waffles, coffee, juice, etc. That's good.

But when I finished reading the paper, I spotted a housefly on my refrigerator, so I rolled up the paper and tried to whack it. I missed by about 1.25 inches. That's bad.
