Michael Collins at "Scoop" Independent News makes much of Bill Clinton using the adjective "persuasive" to describe Robert Kennedy Jr.'s Rolling Stone article on fraud in the 2004 election. Clinton addressed the subject during the question-and-answer session following his keynote speech at the AAN Convention on Saturday, June 17. "Clinton’s response might have gained front page status or at least editorial page controversy if the United States had a function [sic] media. It does not," Collins writes. He notes that Clinton would have set off a "fire storm by endorsing the argument that 2004 was stolen," but he argues that "regardless of what was not said, Clinton said enough to cause a major controversy."
Jon Gaskell and Cityview have had a turbulent past: He first edited the paper from 2000 to 2002, then left and started his own alt-weekly, Pointblank, which was admitted to AAN membership in 2003. Cityview was sold to some of Pointblank's investors in April 2005, and the two newspapers merged into one alt-weekly that was still called Cityview, with Gaskell as editor. He tells The Des Moines Register that "there was no drama" in his resignation this time around; his departure was announced in a publisher's note in the current edition of Cityview.
From a collection of "panty-dropping comics" to a philosophical argument that our culture is shifting from material to spiritual, recent books penned by L.A. Weekly contributors are a diverse lot. The paper provides a round-up in its July 5 issue.
