You're right, Bruce, this is an ASTOUNDING post:

....and given the source (Tim) I suspect that it's an impeccably accurate
description of the real voice of JDS. Lacking the proper evidence with
which to form my own assessment, I would, however, make one minor
adjustment. It should read "Unusually distinguished, and delivered through
one of the finer sets of teeth seen southeast of Skydome...." In fact, I
believe that Salinger--like most American TV anchors--probably speaks with a
Canadian accent!

Cheers,

Paul
