Jack Harper, a Republican state senator, subpoenaed ballots from a contested 2004 legislative race so that a computer science professor hired by New Times could review them, the Arizona Daily Star reported. The consultant reportedly planned to release his findings directly to the newspaper. The county treasurer is opposing this arrangement, and a superior court judge has set a hearing for the second week of January to hear arguments on the legality of the subpoena.
Greg Mitchell's Thursday column on EditorandPublisher.com describes Louis Black's role in financing and producing Be Here to Love Me, a new documentary about the late singer/songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Black was personally acquainted with Van Zandt, and describes him as "usually pretty fucked up but very friendly." The Chronicle also printed a cover story about the film; Black says that "if the staff felt it was a conflict of interest, believe me, I would have heard about it." Be Here to Love Me has been well-reviewed for its warts-and-all portrayal of Van Zandt. Black is now working on a book about the films of Jonathan Demme.
