It's interesting reading here about the lead and the slugs.

In 1977 I attended a high school which had a cast-off Varityper-like machine, yet the Journalism class had to send out the school paper for typesetting. This was part of a month-long production process. A friend of mine organized an alternative school newspaper. We typed up our text in narrow columns, pasted it up with line art and photos and used a scanning version of a mimeograph. We could have coverage of Tuesday night's basketball game in a paper distributed Thursday morning, even though we did things like sleeping and homework.

I think I prefer blogs.
