	Cleartime: AP Stylebook
		The Stylebook is a guide to usage — not only for words, grammar and punctuation, but for taste and touchy subjects and consistent writing in a changing culture.
		Fifty summers later, the Stylebook is still considered by many editors to be the last word before publication and the first reference to which new and veteran writers turn.

That preference had been evident for years, and the AP stood out among news organizations in using courtesy titles, a practice some called outdated and demeaning to women.

		Perhaps not suprisingly, the AP Stylebook also ultimately advises that journalists "in general" avoid using certain political labels "in favor of a more precise definition of an individual's political philosophy," and until a univeral political spectrum is developed, that would be my advice also.
		Thus, he said, "we have a Stylebook, but also a reference work." In trying to be both, however, The AP Stylebook, may be working against itself: It uses "factual references" to help explain the meaning of certain political labels, but the factual references, too, employ dubious political labels.
