This paper has been printing a U.S. drinks ban as still dated the 29th. [1] Sunday is September 13. The 13th is not the 29th. A dated future ban is not in force today. Print the 29th. Do not print today.
No Sunday acceleration of the 29th is in Washington copy, so the drinks ban remains dated the 29th and not today.
The 29th is still the 29th. Sunday recap that treats September 13 as the ban date is a feed, not the calendar.
No Sunday date-change is in the drinks file, so the 29th remains the dated ban.
A ban dated the 29th is still dated the 29th, and this desk will not pretend September 13 is that day.
The calendar has not jumped.
This edition will not invent a ban-today to fill a quiet Sunday.
