In The News
Time for the latest edition of In the News. Here's what caught my eye this week:
- "Queen of Mean" Leona Helmsley dies and leaves her dog a $12 million trust fund. She left billions to charity but cut out some family members.
- In this news video, Mom lets five year old drive, you can hear the story of a Mom who was apparently under the influence and let her five-year-old son drive her (and a sibling) home.
- This Time.com photo essay, The 30th Anniversary of Punk, includes shots and commentary featuring The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, and Iggy Pop.It made me long for my high school days...
- The tenth anniversary of Princess Diana's death reminds us why one of the most famous women in history, who was also a great humanitarian and beloved mother, was loved by so many around the world.
- This Time feature, Can't Sleep? Turn Off the Cellphone!, discusses a recent study that suggests cell phones and work are the two main reasons Americans are not getting enough sleep.
- Although I can't live without a constant flow of books, MSNBC's article, Poll: 1 in four read no books last year, convinces me that I don't have much company in this obsession.
