What Is Early Word? The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.
About the Host Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years.
His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

SEPTA Strike: Day 4 What Helps You Keep Your Cool? An Inquirer editorial has a tongue-in-cheek helpful list. Its advice includes:
Don't watch Falling Down, a movie about a traffic-snarled nerd going berserk with baseball bats and rocket launchers.
Use the bathroom just before your leaving home or office.
Remember the brake is on the left. The gas pedal is on the right.
If you live near a hospital or television station heliport, see if the pilot will give you a lift. Those little cages at the end of the dangling cable are actually very comfy.
Maybe this will help: Think of a peaceful image, like this polar bear relaxing at the zoo.
