I link, you decide: During my travels last week, I skipped some magazine-related news that was, well, marginal. However, one of these items, a story about a 77-year-old library patron who was so angered by the cover of a gay magazine that he ripped the cover off, now has a follow-up story on the AP wire. (Side question regarding nuanced reporting: Does the reporter seem to be suggesting something with his specific reference to the patron taking the cover home with him? With a couple of more sentences, this article could make it onto theonion.com)

No telling what that patron would have done had he encountered this librarian - who no doubt would have fully supported his right to do it (and maybe even enjoyed it).
