Big fan of Marquette basketball, bourbon, The West Wing, Diet Coke, democracy. Fewer, not less. Longtime journalist, currently Editor-in-Chief @Carfax. All opinions are my own.

I know a bunch of folks who won’t go without.
I love student journalists. Hell yeah.
Here's an issue from the Purdue Univ. student paper, The Exponent, dealing with the IU censorship of their student paper. Purdue put it in IU news boxes. (Purdue & IU are normally huge sports rivals.)

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 73 out of the last 85 days.

Epstein Shutdown.
Notable episode for a young Bruno Kirby appearance!
His were the best. His role as military school headmaster is maybe the best Columbo episode ever.
Must be one of the later episodes.
I'm a fan whenever Marquette is seen as an underdog. I think it fires the players up and puts a needed chip on their shoulders.

Not sure why this one is such a shock to me. It’s unclear from the report whether she’d been ill. If she was I didn’t know it. For me, I think, it’s that Keaton was so alive, exuberant, so crackling with energy even fairly far into old age that it somehow doesn’t seem to fit. So many iconic roles.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
