I sent a note earlier expressing my concern about the word count and what exactly I was supposed to do here. You say this is a newspaper article. Was the assignment to write one or comment on one?<br /><br />So I edited all of the text (1,926 words vs. 844). I've asked customer services to contact you about this difference.<br /><br />Also, this is still a draft and many issues remain.<br /><br />Please email me with clarification and I will review the text if necessary.<br /><br />To help you, I attached a copy of the text with all changes accepted below the edited text.<br /><br />Thank you.
