Context added by this archive

Five words and two numbers. No one fires, no one is wounded by anything, and nowhere is named. The Sacramento Bee printed the same day’s events on page A24 as Violence peaks in Gaza Strip; 3 Palestinians killed, 138 hurt (CP-1989-006) — one more injured person than this paper counted, and a place. Neither headline has anybody doing it.
