Lacey Fires Back at Free Timesnew
New Times Executive Editor Mike
Lacey calls Cleveland Free Times'
recent attacks on New Times and
Cleveland Scene "an explosion of
bluster." Lacey accuses Free Times'
Editor David Eden and Publisher
Matt Fabyan of concocting
"conspiracies wrapped in an ad
hominem attack" and of publishing
"organ
discharge." He cites sales and profit
figures that starkly contradict Free Times'
assertion that it was winning the
alternative
newsweekly battle in Cleveland.

Boston Phoenix Slapped With Libel Suit
A local state attorney caught up in
an acrimonious divorce proceeding is
suing the Phoenix for Kristen Lombardi's
January story about custody battles
involving child abuse claims.
Lombardi's article described allegations
that the plaintiff had abused children from
two different marriages. A critical question
in the case may be whether the plaintiff is
a "public figure." The Phoenix's lawyer
told the Boston Globe, ''(Lombardi) is
. . . very capable. We think her
standards and the Phoenix's standards
are high.''

Changing Hoop Dreamsnew
The NBA's Western Conference is shooting the lights out with big white men from outside the United States. Conspiracy theorists may see a corporate push to "ace out the black man," Dan McGraw writes in The Village Voice. The real reason for all the foreign talent may be a lucrative overseas television market and new league rules that favor mid-range shooting and discourage one-on-one play, he says.
Bushies Push Marriage Panaceanew
Moonstruck conservatives join hands with social scientists of all political stripes in an unlikely partnership to promote marriage as a means to combat poverty -- and it's not just a matter of "two can live as cheaply as one." Marriage advocates, including some in the White House, cite reams of statistics that suggest two-parent homes, even the poorest, create healthier, happier, better-educated children who are less likely to stay poor. Dallas Observer staff writer Mark Donald examines how the federal and Texas governments plan to play matchmaker.
