...Hayes' prowled and pounced. But Hayes did splendid work (his lines usually taped by phone from New York) for the first nine seasons, in which Chef was virtually the only adult character treated with affectionate respect. Parker and Stone also gave Hayes his last hit single: a ribald novelty tune, Chocolate Salty Balls, that went to No. 1 in the U.K. and No. 2 in Ireland. It was a fine tribute to the prime singer-songwriter of gourmet sex: Hot Buttered Soul, Chocolate Chip, Juicy Fruit...

...Enter Pro Publica, a non-profit news organization devoted solely to investigative journalism and funded to the tune of $10 million a year by California-based philanthropists Herb and Marion Sandler. With a staff of 18 journalists (10 additional reporters have yet to begin), the group hopes to release their stories for free through exclusive deals with major media outlets such as the New York Times, The Atlantic and 60 Minutes, among other potential partners. On June 22, its first major story - about Al Hurra, a U.S.-funded Middle Eastern TV network that has broadcast anti-American propaganda - aired...
