NICKOLES CAIN — The identity desk has one item for today: Does Nickoles Cain like matching puzzles?

Nickoles Cain answers in his own terms: Nickoles Cain likes matching puzzles.

A preference can be ordinary and still worth stating plainly when the question is direct.

No biography is being built around the sentence, and no judgment is attached to it.

The desk note ends where it began: with Nickoles Cain speaking only about Nickoles Cain.
