It is often good to remember that writers of headlines (and subheadlines)
are usually not the same people as the authors of the following texts.

In particular, in the above example, neither the word "touchstone" nor
the use of "enquires" to mean "enquiries" appears in the text proper.

Still, the mixed metaphor of "razor" as "touchstone" is not without interest.

Edwin Muir — Merlin

O Merlin in your crystal cave
Deep in the diamond of the day,
Will there ever be a singer
Whose music will smooth away
The furrow drawn by Adam's finger
Across the memory and the wave?
Or a runner who'll outrun
Man's long shadow driving on,
Break through the gate of memory
And hang the apple on the tree?

Will your magic ever show
The sleeping bride shut in her bower,
The day wreathed in its mound of snow
and Time locked in his tower?

Q — "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"
A —  "Practice, man, practice."

Another Q-and-A, with a jazz D.J. who reportedly died yesterday —

Q — "Did you ever practice a religion?"
A — "I’m mixed heritage. I was bar mitzvah-ed.
My mother’s side of family is Protestant. I was
rejected as a witness at a wedding of one of
Benny Goodman's cousins because I wasn't Jewish
because of my mother. I'm still mad about that.
If you really go back, my mother’s father was
a church organist."

" The lawsuit was dismissed in a 4-3 decision 
by the New York State Supreme Court.
Justice Edward Greenfield stated that
the pictures were 'not erotic or pornographic' 
except to 'possibly perverse minds….' "

For Greenfield —

"… flights of rhetoric were a hallmark of the thousands
of opinions Justice Greenfield crafted during his three
decades on the trial bench. He died on Aug. 26 at his home
in Manhattan, his son Mark said. He was 98."
