Managing editor Gary Graham admitted he “wasn’t real optimistic” about today’s paper after yesterday’s afternoon news meeting, but… the paper was deemed solid.

Drawing comments from the table were: John Craig’s story about unique Spokane County parcels ready to be auctioned; the return of Doug Clark’s column in the paper after his return from vacation; and designer Ralph Walter’s “Today” cover layout of a story about aspirin.
