"Effect" is the noun, and "affect" is the verb. You affect something, and cause an effect. There is a verb "effect", meaning to bring something about (to effect a change), but that's not what is meant here.
Cripes, I'm supposed to know about this stuff. Humble appy polly loggies, Julia, you were right. I blame working nights, brain fade, age, decrepitude, whatever.

Hundred lines, my desk, tomorrow.
No you are right Julia. The headline uses "affect" as a noun. Only later is it used as a verb.
They actually paid someone for that page? Jesu sur une bicyclette!

A job trainee, I think!
