World News From Around the Corner
The BBC ran the news of the arrest of Radovan Karadzic yesterday at about 4 p.m., Arcadia time. It’s possible the story broke earlier; I haven’t checked. Either way, it was too late in the day for anyone at the Charlotte Sun-Herald to even think about including this significant event in the local paper. No one seemed willing to pull the toe-sucking carp (with picture) off page 2 to make room to report that the man who killed 7,500 Muslim men and boys from Srebrenica in 1995 has been captured. No one was able to squeeze a brief onto the World News Page that there is dancing in the streets of Sarajevo? I expect that the professor is likely to post grades.
Don’t even bother with page 15’s “World” news: that’s led with the stabbing of an El Paso, Texas, soldier, followed with Jay Leno’s career plans, and anchored with Dr. Donahue’s take on a diabetes drug.
And a quick check back on page 6 col 1 finds the “WORLD BRIEF” is nothing less than Winehouse Hubby Gets 27 Months.
