Jesse and Amanda cell-phone editorial

I don’t have spell check on my computer, so you might want to run through it.

P.s. I pretty much wrote a new editorial, keeping the same overall concept.  You can keep some components from the original, which I also included with my final draft.

Possible Titles:

Cell Phone Ban Receives Top Priority
Unsuccessful Cell Phone Enforcement Leads to Desperate Measures
Easing up on Cell Phones
If you Can’t Beat Them, Join Them
