...similar piece of Harvey hokum that led Keith Olbermann to apostrophize, "Probably time for you to give us your final 'Good day!' " But Harvey was no quitter. He reduced his workload to a few broadcasts a week (his son Paul Jr., a longtime writer for the show, was a frequent guest host), but he would not give up the gig after a bout of pneumonia, or his 90th birthday, or even Lynne's death, in 2007, after 67 years of marriage. "Retiring," he said, "is just practicing up to be dead. That doesn't take any practice." He was still...

...idea is not to be punitive, but to call them out on it,” she said. Anita Barry, the Commission’s director of the Bureau of Infectious Disease, told the Globe that her agency would engage with the hospital to discuss prevention of similar episodes. “If we don’t hear about these smaller groups first, how can you start to identify if there’s a larger issue?” she said in a interview with the Globe, citing concerns that hospital staff carry the disease to more than...

...formaldehyde permeates the entire gallery. But repulsion alone does not drive Hatry’s art. In a statement about her work, she compares sculpting animal parts for her images with a photographer’s preparation of a model for a photo shoot. The resulting portraits are eerily similar. The taut expressions of the pig-skin figures are reminiscent of faces fastened by Botox injections; the flesh-strip lips pucker like mouths making kissing motions at the camera. One portrait, “Crazy Broad,” which features a figure dressed in a fur coat and paparazzi...

...that Will’s is an opinion piece—strains credulity. The objection to Will’s piece is not ideological; indeed, it is highly doubtful that an intellectually honest column arguing against a cap-and-trade system or carbon tax would have provoked a similar uproar. The objection is rather to Will’s repeated mischaracterization of his sources in support of assertions that are simply erroneous. The piece’s presence on the op-ed page does not excuse the editors of the Post’s decision not to pull a column...

...course we are scared," says her neighbor Alberdina del Carmen Reyes, whose rustic wood-plank shanty is filled with gaps big enough for the flying mammals to sneak through during the night. Reyes' 5-year-old granddaughter was attacked in her sleep several weeks ago and awoke to a similarly gory scene in her bed. "The government tells us to cover our beds with mosquito nets at night," says Reyes, "but we don't have the money to buy them." Many of the impoverished families in this countryside community of Llano Grande 2, Masaya, have similar vampire tales. The government...
