...that guy who found the stolen Oscars in the trash. And as much as I eavesdropped, I could not figure out why he was such a hero. It's not like he found a case of insulin. Not to get too Jimmy Stewart on him, but if he hadn't been at that Dumpster, society would have got by with a Best Cinematography trophy short...

Now that it's finally over, the Justice Department may wish the case hadn't dragged on quite so long; according to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, all legal fees from the case are now the government's responsibility. The painful irony of this case wasn't lost on the plaintiffs, each of whom will receive roughly $450,000. These were the journalists whose main...
