Back in the days when type was printed on paper that was then given a wax backing and pasted on page boards, watching a newspaper compositor piece together six columns of boxscores to maximize the fit -- a three-inch 1-0 game in this spot, a five-inch 10-8 slugfest in that spot, no, wait, over there instead -- all in a three-card-Monte-like rush on deadline was a marvel to behold.
