Out, Damned Spot! After grappling with North Korean missiles and the congressional impasse over immigration reform, NPR's morning editorial meeting faced a wardrobe crisis. A cheap, defective, NPR-issued pen oozed all over National Desk Editor David Sweeney's shirt. Lots of discussion about how to remove the ink without destroying the shirt. At last check, after much unsolicited advice, he had tried "Aqua Net" hairspray and Tide's "To Go" to no avail. Heloise, where are you when we need you?
