Basic Typography
By PETER EDIDIN
“Good Night, and Good Luck,” the movie about Edward R. Murrow’s battle to expose the demagoguery of Joseph R. McCarthy, has received both critical and popular ac-claim. But the movie has its fervent detractors - and they aren’t people nostalgic for the days of backyard fallout shelters. They are typographers and graphic designers. Their charge: typographical inaccuracy.
