Leads Exercise #4

a. 40 passengers are evacuated from a Northwest Airlines Flight, #428, at the LaCrosse Municipal Airport in Wisconsin after an landing tower employee noticed smoke near the wheels today. The flight had just arrived from Minneapolis.

b. Mother , 27 year old Ellen Conner, is arrested after 7 year old son was found in Brick Township, New Jersey after 3 years of being missing on Thursday night. The boy was found after a neighbor recognized child's face and called the police.

  1. a) Don't start a sentence with a numeral. Make it past tense (it's already happened). Put the flight number in graph 2 -- it slows things down.
    b) This isn't even a complete sentence. It reads more like a headline. Also: 7-year-old son, three years (review AP Stylebook entry on numbers), how did the neighbor recognize his face?

    6/10 - please redo
