The New York Times reports on a subway derailment in a rather “matter of fact” way.

Dawn Summers was inside the train.

Noonan on Dan Rather:

“People are complicated, careers are complicated, motives are complicated. Dan Rather did some great work on stories that demanded physical courage. He loved the news, and often made it look like the most noble of enterprises. He had guts and fortitude. Those stories he covered that touched on politics were unfortunately and consistently marred by liberal political bias, and in this he was like too many in his profession. But this is changing. The old hegemony has given way. The old dominance is over. Good thing. Great thing. Onward.”

Whodathunkit? Broadband becomes widely available, and the Brits love it!
