Almost Impossible. Almost.

§ 02 / THE EDITORIAL LINEWHAT EVERY ENTRY HAS TO EARN

I was trained to assume the thing will fail until the data says otherwise. I edit this catalog the same way.

THE CLARITY RULE

It has to make you see it.

THE HONESTY RULE

If I say I did it, I did it. If I borrowed it, I name who from.

THE MONDAY RULE

It has to work before Monday.
