The reader! You, dogged, uninsultable, print-oriented bastard, it's you I'm addressing, who else, from inside this monstrous fiction. You've read me this far, then? Even this far? For what discreditable motive? How is it you don't go to a movie, watch TV, stare at a wall, play tennis with a friend, make amorous advances to the person who comes to your mind when I speak of amorous advances? Can nothing surfeit, saturate you, turn you off? Where's your shame? ↗

The headline is the 'ticket on the meat.' Use it to flag down readers who are prospects for the kind of product you are advertising. ↗

I think it's one of the Times' problems that they haven't made it clear to readers what various formats mean. ↗
