Anchorman
KTLA is reporting that longtime anchor Hal Fishman has died. Fishman, long a fixture at the station, had been ill for several days. He was 75.
This from a KTLA biography:
Hal was been the bearer of good news and bad news to the television viewers of Los Angeles, including the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, the visit of Pope John Paul II, and the Sylmar and Northridge earthquakes. Hal also helped to break the Rodney King beating story, among many others.
Simpson's character Kent Brockman may have been partly modeled on Fishman. Not sure about any similarity. You be the judge.

The police officer of Community Relations Burueau in Baldwin Park told me that she had read an article about the crime of breaking into the senior apartments with key in SGV Tribune.
On 7-24-07 about 3:30 pm, a Mexican female, mid age, opened the lock of my front door when I was at home. According to my friend, several months ago, one of her neighbors also had the same experience. A Mexican female opened the front door with key and entered her apartment when her neighbor was cooking in the kitchen.
I told the police officer about it. She told me that such crime also happened in other areas. I want to look for the article she said. Because she could not recall the date of the article and only remebered she saw it in SGV Tribune, can you tell me the date of such report so that I can look for it in the library? I deeply appreciate your help.
