Good article about Stewart, indeed.
BWB - you're right about the AP. They're just awful.
I had an occasion to be around around one of the AP writers in April, while I took NASCAR photos for a magazine my sister-in-law writes for. The poor thing was unable to spell or punctuate correctly. I thought the spell checker on her laptop was going to explode!
Ever since that observation, I've noticed various problems with AP stories.
