The Detroit Free Press reports on a local woman whose letter to Barack Obama elicited a handwritten note from the president, who writes several such notes each week. The article quotes Michael Traugott, a UM communication studies professor, who said one of the motivations for Obama’s letter-writing is political: “Without casting any aspersions on his campaign, it would be interesting to track where the letters are going by state and congressional district.

Well that’s just silly. Lemon slices dipped in salt make the job so much easier.
They were actually not going for the perfectly pristine shiny-as-a-new-penny look that I think you’d get with the lemon and salt. In fact, based on the quick chat I had with the workers, they seem to have “overdone” it for a couple of the panels (too shiny) and were going back to rectify in some way. The desired effect was the sort of multi-colored streaky effect.
Do we know for what purpose the workers are shining up the copper-plated building? Has there been a change of status?
