Transcript of the segment
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The New York Times.
Hank LedgerThe New York Times published a new batch of Tiny Love Stories, and I must tell you the situation is severe.
Vera BullockIt's reader-submitted romance, Hank, and each story has to come in at one hundred words or fewer.
Hank LedgerOne hundred words. That is the legal ceiling on the human heart, and nobody in government has commented.
Vera BullockIt's a column, not a law. People like short and sweet.
Hank LedgerSomewhere a man had a hundred and four words of feeling, and an editor made him cut four. Four words he will never get back.
Vera BullockThe title is 'Who Would Believe That Nonsense?' It's meant to be charming. People eat this stuff up.
Hank LedgerMy whole love story fits in four words.
Vera BullockCut it to three.
