WaPo Vernon Loeb's Meandering Memo
Subject line: A local baby — from Vernon. (As in WaPo‘s Local Editor Vernon Loeb in a memo he dispatched Monday to newsroom staff.)
Did Vernon have the local baby? Of course, not. But that’s just the beginning of the confusion that an editor, if editing this memo, might have asked before sending such copy out. Other questions to ponder: Is it about the mother? The infant? The grandfather? Or, is it about the author, Loeb, and his relationship with the grandfather?
Questions aside, welcome Nicholas Marimow Sargent to the Fishbowl!

Colleagues:
I’m thrilled to inform you that Ann Marimow and her husband, Jake Sargent, became the proud parents last night of Nicholas Marimow Sargent.
