Invisibly Different. Remodeling the Atlanta Journal, he reduced the size of margins at the top and bottom of pages, saving four column-inches per page. He cut comic strip widths, reduced the size of standing headlines over regular features, eliminated white space around classified ad items, made other space-saving reductions.
