...reporter and editor for more than 50 years, I feel that newspapers can save themselves. How about concentrating on purely local news instead of trying to reflect what readers saw on cable TV the day before?

A federal judge in Greenville characterized her as a scheming manipulative criminal, according to the Associated Press. Reed’s scam was unveiled...
...only imagine the legendarily timid designer holding court here in his heyday as the avatar of the new classic aesthetic. But with Saint Laurent's death, and the dispersing of his collection, the Salon stands as a fleeting study of how one of the great designers of our time continually rediscovered beauty. Jonathan Rendell, Christie's point man on the auction, says Saint Laurent's collecting quest undoubtedly helped feed his vision of couture. "The textures and the structure are the first thing you notice," he says as he tours the apartment, singling out several cubist works, a 1928 leopard...
