...scene that played out two days later at a nearby hotel was a little less by the book. Flanked by armed guards, Christopher So, the man who led Los Angeles police to Markhasev, took center stage and pocketed a $100,000 reward for helping solve the case. The check was issued by the National Enquirer, which had posted the hefty reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Cosby's killer. For his payday, the tabloid had generously outfitted So in a baseball cap sporting the cheeky logo ENQUIRING MINDS...
...efforts (and deep pockets) of the nation's most widely read supermarket tabloid. The trial's two key pieces of evidence, the murder weapon and a series of incriminating jailhouse letters written by Markhasev, were both unearthed with the help of the Enquirer. After reading about the reward, So called the tabloid's Ennis Cosby hot line with a tip that led the L.A.P.D. to the discarded .38-cal. gun, wrapped in a knit cap that contained a strand of Markhasev's hair.

And in doing so, he has defined masculinity despite publicly admitting that his favorite performers are Toni Braxton and Anita Baker; this guy could say his favorite movie was Beaches, and he'd still be the alpha male. He has unwittingly followed the plot of a hero, suffering...
...that contains a passel of annoying glitches, then charge $89 to fix it under the guise of an "upgrade." There is, I'm told, a more charitable way to look at this: "If you've been using Windows 95 since the beginning, you can consider Windows 98 the reward for your patience," says the sunny Kip Crosby, who co-wrote The Windows 98 Bible (Peachpit Press). Lots of people already agree. When an early version of Windows 98 was sent to testers, "91% kept it on their machine because they felt it was more stable than Windows 95," reports...
