Save the People!

The people have been saved! Responding to a last-minute plea for clemency, my editor granted a stay-of-editorial-execution this morning to my article subjects.

The article is still only one page, and the four of them will be squished together on the page rather like the villains in the early part of the Superman movie, their noses flattened against the glass panels of the extra-dimensional prison.

But at least they’ve survived the editorial process. Alas, Captain Kirk has been permanently exiled to the Planet Gorn, marooned there forever, unless he can literarily be rescued for some future episode of Belle of Liberty’s Blog.
