[Editors] talking the walk?

[William T G Litant]

You mean the spotlight about T passes with the photo of a New York (or  
is it Chicago) subway? I believe the correct phrase is "talking the  
talk and walking the walk."
you think about it, "talking the walk" doesn't make a lot of sense,  
unless you are Dan Quayle.
