Today's paper featured probably one of the strangest stories I have read in a while: "Amish Renegades Are Accused In Bizarre Attacks on Their Peers." The story begins with a delayed lede, prolonging the description of how Amish men attacked other Amish men and women by cutting off their beards and hair. It was said they the attackers did this out of revenge over past disagreements, but that the Amish do not usually believe in revenge. I found this article so interesting because the Amish community is so different from that of the mainstream American public, and these attacks does not seem like they would happen in the public community that I live in. Again, the writers of this article concluded it with a quote, as has been the case with many articles in the Times.
I also enjoyed the photos and article about the Occupy Wall Street movement. The multiple images on the front page show a diverse group of protesters, which is exactly what this movement seems to be about. The quotes and opinions of an array of people are what give this story its strength and interest.
