I liked the quote at the end of the new graduates article; however, I did not like the lede. It would have been better if the writer made the second paragraph short and the lede, instead of introducing the reader to a random person that isn't quoted until the end of the fifth paragraph. She is mentioned a few times before then, and I kept thinking, "So what? Where is she?" The article on Obama saying Marines will be in Australia was pretty good. The lede was the right type to choose, and the first quote was in the third paragraph. It was a sound, average article.
