I'm going to compare the blast and bless sections in the first and second edition. In the first edition, there are many of them covering many different topics, with varying font sizes and strange placement on the page. It looks very unusual and is a large part of what gave the first Blast its identity. In the second edition, the blast and blesses are all the same font size, all centered on the page, and are mostly names of people and companies, with a few unexpected exceptions, such as blast birth-control and bless the war loan. | I'm going to compare the blast and bless sections in the first and second edition.
