...story, of course. It is not news on the scale of, say, the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk or the Tet offensive, but we will have to redefine the word news if we say that the disappearance of a United States Congressman's mistress, and her possible murder (by whom? by him?), does not merit some notice in the media...
...diligently--and successfully--for the role of Tobey Maguire's love interest in Sony's upcoming big-budget, highly anticipated Spider-Man. Despite reports that she is also Maguire's leading lady offscreen, both say they are just friends. And she recently finished starring as William Randolph Hearst's mistress, Marion Davies, in director Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow, a fact-based, murder-on-a-yacht film set for release this fall.

Along the way, she reports on the news back at Tata, including the death of Other from a fall down the stairs...
...That the media is a harsh mistress is taken for granted in the real world: When presented with a picture of Bill Clinton, many people think of cigars, not healthcare. But very rarely does the media mention the names of non-public figures, particularly young people, in a non-positive light. This, of course, makes a negative reference all the more noticeable. There’s something saddening imbedded in the tarnishing of a young name. It’s strange when bad news has a face, and a nice friendly face at that; a face that I now have...
