As a careful reader of The Sun, I have often noticed that an article or column is missing important information. Perhaps not important to everyone but it bothers me when my curiosity isn't satisfied and when credit isn't given where it is due.
In the article about medical students getting their "match" with a hospital for their residencies ("Medical students celebrate their next steps at annual "Match Day," March 21), there was a picture of a woman, Veronica Hocker, with eight words devoted to identifying her son as well as what her match was, and another woman who is obviously pleased and yet the caption under her photograph fails to mention her match. Wouldn't it have been nice for that information to be in the caption? Or even mentioned again in the article? Surely, reporters Arthur Hirsch and Joe Burris asked her. Caitlin Carnell, on the other hand, gets a few paragraphs in the article, including information about a house search. Surely, this isn't germane to the article.
In another case in the same edition, in Jacques Kelley's column ("Motor House arts center to anchor Station North neighborhood"), there is precious little about Sherwin Marks even though, as Fred Lazarus said, "He deserves a lot of credit." Well, yes he does. Mr. Marks with his "Load of Fun" building was a pioneer in what became a tax-credit, city-supported, arts district, but he didn't benefit from that at all.
I wish you'd pay more attention to details.
