The Journal Gets Florid

The lede of a front-page WSJ article today entitled "Markets Tumble As Dollar's Fall Adds to Anxiety":
The creidt crisis sparked by mortgage problems reared its head anew, as stocks tumbled on fears about shaky financial institutions. This time, the dolla'rs fall to record lows and oil's flirtation with $100 a barrel added to the worrisome brew.
Rearing heads, flirtation, and a worrisome brew? However else Murdoch reshapes the Journal, I hope he won't banish this glorious Victorian language!

I post no link because the online WSJ requires subscription.
