Headlines 
The former ImClone CEO has been fined and sentenced to prison. (Good.) I'm somewhat amused by the top headlines from Reuters and AP:

Reuters: Former ImClone CEO Waksal Gets 87 Months in Prison

AP: ImClone Founder Sam Waksal Given 7 Years

Let's guess which one of these offices has a calculator...

(Admittedly, 87 divided by 12 isn't exactly 7; still, it's easier to assimilate "7 years" than "87 months." An ideal headline would be something like "over 7 years.")
