Why this stamp.
- “The Augusta woman who struck and killed two Maine Department of Transportation workers in January has been arrested and faces two counts of manslaughter and other charges. On Jan. 13, Samantha Tupper, 34, failed to stop at a posted stop sign at an Inte” names a checkable occurrence — actor and action that can be verified on the record.

- The desk stamp Real is on the documented event — not a blessing of the surrounding spin. Spin can be wrong; the occurrence still has to clear the Real bar on its own.
