Not the AP. <br /><br />The headline writer only read the first sentence of the story, which in characteristically muddy AP style, gives the clear impression that two people won the lawsuit. A bus driver and a minister. I thought there were two people as well, and it took a couple of re-readings to see that the story was about just one person - not two.<br /><br />The lede should have been edited to say "A bus driver, who is also a minister in his spare time, etc etc." That would make it clear that just one person won the lawsuit.Jim Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652498104950301863noreply@blogger.com
