Nat slips

Nat Hentoff writes the usual column, which is to say an excellent one, but for all his talk of Orwell he and Kennedy and Stevens he doesn't even touch on the big example: How the Manhattan media continually refers to a "type of abortion procedure."

Here's a real headline that took 15 seconds to find: "Ban on type of abortion set for arguments today"

Love it. Wish all reporting were done this way. "Type of policy was subject of a kind of communication in a central social organization during a common time unit."
