Exception to notification rule
This is a big ruling for this area. Conservative Cincinnati has turned one small new leaf.

Marriott discontinues pay-TV porn
The fascism has moved north. I also think the person who videotaped the movies in the hotel room may have broken the law. Where is the justice?
Reds' Bowden Fined for Remark
It was for talking about union negotiations, not for pissing off a few sensitive 9/11 family members, no matter how they spin it.
Views on Homosexuality in the "Black Community"
From my observations locally, and in national cultural elements, I think the "black community" has more hostility towards homosexuals than the mainstream community. Locals examples can be seen with 1230 the Buzz's Emanuel Livingston's bigoted comments against homosexuals, as well as whites. Jay Love and Shawn Darks are prejudice against homosexuals, not as bad, but close. I can only guess that this trend that is out there rests on the high level of fundamentalist or strict religious belief in the "black community" than in the mainstream community. It is an odd trend that I can't explain any other way. The odd marriage of Stonewall Cincinnati and the boycott movement is a good example. The background disgust in this marriage is heavy on the religious side of the boycotters. I guess they don't mind holding their noses.
Change at the Buzz
Gene Galvin appears to be gone. No word on why.
BRONSON: Dog days
Bronson is once again drudging up Clinton to yet again bash him. This is just a childish attack. It is not funny. Bronson should be ashamed of himself. In a week where Congress is discussing war with Iraq, Pete is off feeding his need to destroy Bill and Al. Pete really seems to have gotten to much sun while on vacation. Speaking of vacations, how would the GOP have beat on Clinton if he took a month long vacation during the Kosovo War? Bush is off to the Ranch for a month, while the troops are sweating it out in Afghanistan. Where is the leadership of a President who stays on the job? He may not need to stay in the White House to run the country, but it would not hurt his image if he stayed.

CityBeat: Letters (2002-06-20)
I did not know this, but they printed my letter a while back!

Don't Mislead Readers
I think you need to re-examine what you call a news story and what you call a column or op/ed piece. The "news" story Nightmare on Vine Street by Jonathan Diskin and Thomas Dutton (issue of June 6-12) is clearly not a news story, but opinion from top to bottom.

I suggest you not confuse your readers or try to mislead them.
