...ATMs this Christmas thanks to a cutting-edge marketing scheme developed by its author: freebies. Grace, a novel set in Harvard Square in 1992, evokes memories of “charming coffee houses before the expansion of big business in Harvard Square” according to the author, Barbara Hindley, who placed copies of her novel throughout Harvard Square as gifts to perfect strangers...
...DIED. MYRA HINDLEY, 60, Britain's longest-serving female prisoner who was sentenced to life in 1966 for her part in the notorious child killings known as the Moors murders; in Suffolk, England. Jailed along with lover and accomplice Ian Brady, she was convicted of murdering two of the five children they had abducted, tortured and sexually abused before burying their bodies on Saddleworth Moor near Manchester.

With headliners like these, it?s not surprising that the museum has slapped an "R" rating on the exhibit, and no one under the age of 16 will be admitted without a parent. Of course, most parents will probably stand, flabbergasted, as their children blithely flit through the exhibit, listening...
...days later McEnroe failed to show up for a pre-tournament press conference; his father filled in for him. The next day McEnroe, working out with Jimmy Connors on a practice court, caught sight of British Photographer Tommy Hindley, who had tussled with him in the past. McEnroe let loose a couple of close-range volleys, one of which hit the photographer in the thigh, and, said Hindley, threatened to put the next one between his eyes...
