"
My cancers are so bad that I think I've arrived at the
end of the road. What a pity. I would like to
live not only because I love life so much, but because I'd like to see the result of the
trial. I do think I will be found
guilty."

Eddie Clontz, longtime editor of the
Weekly World News, creator of Ed Anger, Bat Boy and other semi-real totems of society's fuzzy underbelly, is dead at 56.
The fact that I had to find this out in
The Economist, of all places, makes me madder than -- than -- than George S. Patton at a Peace Rally.

NY Times Reporter Jumps to His Death: Matt Drudge reports that
New York Times Business reporter/editor Allen Myerson jumped to death at the
NY Times building in New York City on 43rd Street this morning. Myerson was the Weekend Business Editor at the
NY Times and a member of the
Business Journalism Advisory Council. Among other things, Myerson reported on Enron. An abstract of a Myerson article that appeared in the newspaper last December says, "Enron Corp's failure is having repercussions not just on nation's energy industries, but is being felt through retailing, real estate, insurance, banking, Internet services, newspaper publishing, plastics and glass manufacturing, all of which Enron touched in its boundless appetite for risk and growth."
