DIED. REUVEN FRANK, 85, wry, trailblazing TV news producer; in Englewood, N.J. In a radio-influenced era in which TV news often meant anchors reading headlines, the NBC News president made the most of the new medium, infusing such protégés as Tom Brokaw and Linda Ellerbee with his zeal for compelling storytelling that let pictures shine. Among the Emmy winner's best-known innovations was pairing two anchors in The Huntley-Brinkley Report whose lively pacing, witty asides and hokey sign-off ("Goodnight, David," "Goodnight, Chet") are credited with changing the style of TV news...
...Bridlington, a British seaside resort town not far from where Hockney was born, he's steaming.

Of course, to be an Si fan means loving short-throw manual gear shifts and the squeal...
...Lisa J. Bloomberg E-40 “Tell Me When to Go”Rap takes a lot of flak for glamorizing the dope dealer lifestyle and endorsing violence, but these criticisms ignore what it gives back to the community: geography lessons. If you heard the radio in 2005, you learned all about the climate of Atlanta (according to Young Jeezy, it snows) and the natural resources of Houston (grillz).So where’s next on the curriculum? After seeing this video, my bet’s on the Bay Area. After a decade of regional success...
