Today's word on journalism

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

Career advice:

"Coleridge was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was stabbed by a man whom he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's name out of a satire, then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you still want to be a writer -- and if so, why?"

--Bennett Cerf (1898-1971), co-founder of Random House (Thanks to alert WORDster Tom McGuire)

Logan bank robbed

By Brittany Strickland

November 6, 2007 | LOGAN -- A man in a tan safari hat walked into Zion's First National Bank at 1:30 p.m. Monday. He displayed a handgun to the teller and demanded money, after which he fled on foot.

The robber was described by witnesses as being in his mid-40s, thin, Caucasian, male, and approximately 6 feet tall. He was wearing a white, long-sleeved T-shirt and tan cargo pants with blue shoes.

When questioned about the incident, employees of the bank would not reveal any details; however, one anonymous employee said, "No one was hurt."

If anyone has information on the robbery, please contact the Logan City Police Department at 435-716-9300. A cash reward will be offered to anyone with information leading to an arrest and a conviction.
