Slug wha?

I'm completely at a loss here. Would somebody down at Charlotte care to check in and tell us what you had in mind by "slugs on"?

Nearest I can figure is some flavor of "slog on," which seems completely out of tune with where the story's going. But maybe you kids have something in your dialect these days that's simply going past the old folks.

And the cutline? OK, granted, cutlines aren't supposed to leave much to the imagination, but if you really, really think you have to point out that Ed Sullivan is the one at "center," maybe you shouldn't be putting stories like this on the front page in the first place.
