news of the world

Pretty shocking to read the headline "Bhutto Assassinated" in red letters on my own web page. She who fellow Life writer Anne Fadiman knew as "Pinky" when they went to Harvard together. However, it's a good reason to have a news feed on the page, since a couple of people whose task it is to let me know if a major news event happens (in the absence of television in this household) fell down on the job this morning. You know who you are.
