Where can I get the list. I do not have the WSJ!


Well, it's not a list but an "A-hed" feature, so it's written for
laughs (mild laughs) rather than information.

The A-hed used to run each day in the fourth column of six gray
columns on the front page of the journal (counting left to right). The
design has been loosened up a lot in recent years, but the the story
still has the tradition "A" heading (an upside-down U framing the
headline, suggesting an A) and still begins in column four and is
still amusing. But it no longer runs every day.

WSJ writers compete for the privilege of writing the A-hed. Naturally
there are pilots among them, so once in a while it's aviation-related.

Perhaps that was more than you wanted to know about A-hed?
