"Can't I say "dramatic" Pentagon papers? Can't we make it more "dramatic?"Exactly! That was such an illuminating moment that shows the power an anchor has. A single word such as "dramatic" places a complete different emphasis on the story. I'm not even saying it is a wrong characterization - I'm just saying it illustrates the power of a word and the power of the person that has the last say in whether it is inserted/used or not.

And she obviously wanted to add "dramatic" to have the ADDED INTEREST element in *her* as the reader.

Yeah, Katie, it's all about you. Right. Think highly of yourself much?
