I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

It would be nice to have a number. PAPEROFRE-CORD.com and other sources still insist it's two. That has to be wrong. Too many sources are going by some UNNAMED U. S. OFFICIAL insisting it's 40, and they INSIST he got it from the British. WHO HE? Could we have an accurate number, please?
P. S. I am forced to remember that on 9/11 or the day after NEWSMAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ran a story quoting a "New York Port Authority official" saying "30,000 DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Thankfully it was a fraction of that, still an obscene fraction, but it could have been worse. The same, I suspect, this time.
Now the MESS is claiming "at least 33" without any source. I think it best to sit and wait here.

Meantime, I type "Islam" in in GoogleNews, and the first thing out IS:
Abdullah fights the unjust campaigns to which Islam is subjected.
According to PETRA, Muslim Ulama (scholars and thinkers) on Wednesday expressed their appreciation for His Majesty Abdullah's relentless efforts in highlighting the true image of Islam and fighting the unjust campaigns to which Islam is subjected.
The scholars and thinkers sent today a cable to His Majesty in which they affirmed that scholars and thinkers from different Islamic school thought seized the occasion of the conclusion of their conference to express their appreciation and thanks for His Majesty's warm and generous host the prominent scholars received during their stay in Amman.
They also expressed appreciation for His Majesty's inaugurating speech in which the King deep-rooted the image of Islam which is unifying the adherents of the eight Islamic school thought and the mutual acknowledgement of all schools of Islamic thought.
They also praised Jordan's role in highlighting the true image of Islam and fighting all forms of unjust campaigns and accusations Islam is facing. And they commended the role of Hashemite family members in serving Islam and Muslims.
MOSSAD DEED EEET!!!!!

Scotland Yard has also denied a report that it was warned of the attacks by Israel a few minutes before they happened. Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been scheduled to give a speech to an Israeli corporate investment conference in London, but Ha'aretz reports that he has been told to stay in his hotel by the Israeli government.

With a villain named Dr. Doom, you'd expect a little menace - or at least a smidgen of suspense - to balance the big-budget special effects in Tim Story's "Fantastic Four."
But this adaptation of the popular Marvel Comics superhero series plays like a neighborhood Halloween party, where the guests spend the evening checking each other out and trying to guess who will win Best Costume.

Just as scientists are pursuing early-warning systems for everything from earthquakes to hurricanes, public-health officials are monitoring potential epidemics as never before.
There's just one problem. Better detection has spawned several false alarms over the past few decades, potentially undermining the credibility of warnings.

Kidnappers of Egypt's top diplomat in Iraq threatened to kill him because Egypt has allied with "Jews and Christians," according to a statement posted Wednesday on an al Qaeda-linked Web site.
Al Qaeda's religious court decided to hand over Ihab Sherif to its fighters "to carry out the punishment of apostasy against him," said the statement on the site associated with al Qaeda in Iraq. Under Islam, apostasy, or changing religion, is punishable by death.
Hey OSAMA CHANNEL! When's your STRINGER going to hand you the TAPE?

For more than a year, the organization has been beset by problems - including a revenue shortfall, stagnant membership and ethical complaints about its last president - that have raised concerns about its vitality and ability to recruit younger blacks. Republicans have also attacked it as biased in favor of Democrats, an assertion the N.A.A.C.P., a nonprofit group, strongly denies.

ANOTHER IMMORTAL:
Wasserman's last years were not happy. He sold MCA to Japanese electronics firm Matsushita in 1990 for $6.1 billion, ending up with $327 million for his stock. But he never got along with his new bosses, and they never bothered to tell him when they unloaded a controlling stake to Canadian drinks firm Seagram Co. a few years later.
He was given the meaningless title of chairman emeritus, and reduced to dining alone at the Universal commissary. He died in 2002, aged 89. In the film, Avrich claims some people turned up to his memorial service to make sure he was dead.
Don't you feel sorry for IMMORTALS?

Early sales have taken a relatively small bite out of Warner Books' first printing of 101,000 copies.
"Right now, it's not on a bestseller trajectory," said John Kremer, editor of the Book Marketing Update newsletter. "It should be selling more than that, given all the promotion they're doing."

Forbes.com readers and editors rank Gerard Swope as the 20th most influential businessman of all time....
As president of General Electric, Gerard Swope expanded GE's consumer product offerings: The company sold its first electric clothes washer and refrigerator under his leadership. GE's foray into home appliances paid dividends for generations. He also oversaw the creation of the GE Credit Corp. to help finance the sale of appliances. GE Credit paved the way for consumer lending in the U.S., growing into GE Capital, now a $64 billion financial services giant. But his major legacy was in labor relations: Swope instituted "corporate welfare," a widely replicated program in which workers were offered benefits such as profit sharing.

But don't forget the cravenness of ad-blurb copywriters -- and editorial boards.
Meantime this press release bursts with Jews -- JUICE:
Indeed, the movie's terrain is so packed with potential land mines that, associates say, Mr. Spielberg has sought counsel from advisers ranging from his own rabbi [GOD needs a RABBI?!?!?] to the former American diplomat Dennis Ross, who in turn has alerted Israeli government officials to the film's thrust. Mr. Spielberg has also shown the script to Mr. Ross's old boss, former President Bill Clinton. Mr. Clinton's aides said Mr. Spielberg reached out to him first more than a year ago and again as recently as Tuesday. Mr. Spielberg is also being advised by Mike McCurry, Mr. Clinton's White House spokesman, and Allan Mayer, a Hollywood spokesman who specializes in crisis communications.

Considering that Time has ALWAYS been about ENTERTAININGLY SKEWING the news, considering that it really broke into the big time in theaters and radio with THE MARCH OF TIME, considering that the GREAT Hank Luce wanted to purchase what is now the ESPNCorp Television Network, considering the outfit owned TV stations and FOUNDED HBO, considering how many of its writers have graduated to type BAD SCREENPLAYS, I'd say it's ALWAYS BEEN AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY.
