I just read Bob Edwards note on the NPR web site. Gracious, but, I believe, if you read between the lines he is rather---for want of a beter word---miffed.   The NY Times article yesterday quoted him as saying that it would have been nice to come up with a great retort when he was told about the changes that will make him a "special" correspondent.

By the way---I respect and admire the women correszpondents mentioned. We have here, in my area, a wonderfully witty and sardonic host of a local music program--Steve Post. When they do fund raising he always uses an expression that says in effect---"...hey you know we have NPR and we give you Nina Totebag all the time---so pledge:.
