Dear Whomever: I signed up for the wire points newsletter. I tried to download the jury story on my iPhone and it would not download, no matter how I pressed on it. The Illinois General Assembly article did download with just one push on the phone. So, I went to my laptop and
tried to download the jury story, and also tried to print it. Neither one worked. I went to print the story and only the header would show up on the screen, nothing else, not a single word of the story. Very, very disappointing.
