Here's an original joke. What do you do with a famous columnist who lifts gags from someone else's book, then lies about having read it? Answer: Suspend him for two months without pay, then hope everyone's forgotten about it when he comes back. The Boston Globe told this rib-tickler Tuesday when it announced that top humorist Mike Barnicle, who reprinted loosely-disguised George Carlin quips from the bestselling book "Brain Droppings," would not be fired after all. Declaring that "the punishment did not fit the crime," editor Matthew Storin has withdrawn his demand for Barnicle...
...appeal of a sealed order last month by the lower-court judge Norma Holloway Johnson, who not only admonished Starr for his team's alleged leaks but also ordered him to turn over records of its contacts with the media.

We dodged and wove our way to the bus with the knowledge that only the strong would survive. Dashing ahead of a gaggle of tourists in matching outfits, we leapt onto the bus roaring with victory as the doors closed on those...
Over the five years since his death, Stephen, the boy--Stephen, offering hope--has been forgotten by the masses. His image--a marketable picture of a smiling boy wearing a M*A*S*H shirt and giving his photographers a wave--lives on, reproduced on t-shirts, in the British tabloids, on television and on propaganda posters. It is, however, but the ghost of person--a voodoo doll that, when pricked, creates an automatic yelp from hundreds of protesters...
