Huge Tanks Beat Back British Harried by Swarm of Planes 5-7Doesn't this title need punctuation? Do the British beat back the tanks even as they (the British) are harried by swarms of planes or are the British beat back by huge tanks while being harried by swarms of planes. I doubt the huge tanks are being harried by swarms of planes.
Also note that Sulzberger goes first person in this account. In a page one story no less.
