Leads – part 2

“A software engineer furious with the Internal Revenue Service launched a suicide attack on the agency Thursday by crashing his small plane into an office building containing nearly 200 IRS employees, setting off a raging fire that sent workers running for their lives.” (Feb. 18 issue, A6)

The summary lead answers who (software engineer), what (a suicide attack), where (the IRS building), when (Thursday) and how (by crashing his plane into the IRS building).

“On a flat-TV screen overhead, the women of an Italian village gossip about a sexy newcomer named Malena, whom they consider to be sin incarnate.” (Feb. 18 issue, E1)

The indirect lead is an observation because it describes what people can see on the TV screen in the North Beach cafe, which shows Italian movies.
