• Rewrite the lead to make it more readable and interesFng: 1. Plumes of thick black smoke could be seen rising across the skyline of
Tripoli on Tuesday a\ernoon as figh;ng between regime troops and rebel forces con;nued.

Rewrite this story using the inverted pyramid format: Back from two weeks’ vaca;on and making his first TV appearance since a threat against his life was posted on a jihadist website, David Le>erman played it all for laughs during Monday’s monologue. The “Late Show” host began by thanking his studio audience for being there. “Tonight,” he said, “you people are more, to me, honestly, than an audience – you’re more like a human shield.” Then he apologized for having been tardy coming out onstage. “Backstage, I was talking to the guy from CBS,” he explained. “We were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I was covered for jihad.” Un;l Le>erman delivered his jokes, his situa;on seemed no laughing ma>er. Last week, a frequent contributor to a jihadist website called on fellow Muslims to “cut” Le>erman’s tongue because of a joke he had made about al-‐Qaida leaders. The FBI said it was looking into the threat against the comic. While Le>erman and his writers were polishing their jokes Monday a\ernoon, outside on Broadway, a bomb-‐sniffing dog was led around the periphery of the Ed Sullivan Theater. Meanwhile, ;cket holders queuing up along the sidewalk seemed relaxed about a>ending Le>erman’s first taping since the assassina;on threat. Some were even unaware that his life had been threatened.
