Deciding what goes in a paper when, and where it runs, is an interesting business (said the former newspaper editor). It could be as simple as "the editor thought it was cute, but not particularly important, so it had to wait for a slow day, and then Sunday was really slow, so it wound up on 1." Or, who knows, maybe they were under intense pressure from the massive and wealthy traffic-light-manufacturers' lobby not to publicize their plight, and it took the Sunday editor to make a bold, defiant stand. :)
