Woman who does a char iotas with no a and fire for passion?

Very small parts are iotas, lacking "a".

Thanks, Rusty and parksey. Just need to
work out the shorter one now!

INFORMED ARTICLE - PAPER
REGULARLY RUNS ONE- a - article, paper regularly is ppr, runs one - "is ed" - apprised?

Many thanks, AB. Still don't see the
"runs one" to make "is ed" though.

Ed is short for editor. One who runs a paper "is ed"
