Webster Tome Just Keeps On Printing --Cagle

It took 28 years for Webster to complete his 70,000-word dictionary, which contained uniquely American words such as skunk, caucus and chowder, the AP noted.

A tip of the cap to one of America’s underrated historical figures and arguably its greatest reference publisher.

PRESS DEATH: Another printing industry fatality occurred overseas in early October. Maintenance engineer Ian Ebbs, 43, fell into a press and was crushed to death at the St. Ives Web publishing plant in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, in the United Kingdom. Fellow employees worked to remove Mr. Ebbs from the press, but he died several hours later at a hospital from internal injuries.
