During her statement, Triantafillou condemned Boston press coverage of Curley's alleged murderers. Lead stories in the Boston Globe and Boston Herald on Oct. 4 labeled suspects Salvatore Sicari, 21, of Cambridge and Charles Jaynes, 22, of Brockton as "alleged lovers" and detailed their possession of pornography that depicted men and boys...
What started the fire? The Grammy Award-winning singer had written a letter to the Miami Herald in support of a volunteer who was kicked off a Metro-Dade arts board. Peggi McKinley was fired for saying officials should end their ban on Cuba-based artists performing at county-sponsored events. As a result of the law, the French-based organizers of a major Latin American and Caribbean music conference had threatened to abandon Miami as a future venue, a move that would cost the city millions of dollars.

Then, in August, Herald reporter Tom Mashberg claimed he had been escorted to a dark warehouse and shown by flashlight Rembrandt's signature on Storm on the Sea of Galilee. The assignation was brokered by Youngworth, who then told ABC's Nightline he could deliver the stolen works in exchange for the museum's $5 million reward and the release of his pal Myles J. Connor Jr., a thief who was in prison for selling cocaine...
