The Short List — Wed., Aug. 8
August 8th, 2007 by Joe Bardi in The Morning PapersNo one wanted to take nude photos of me when I was in college! Who do I sue?
- You’ve heard about Larry Flynt’s million-dollar reward for information on philandering congressmen? The Washington Post has a good profile of his main investigator.
- Would you believe there is an archive of thousands of nude photos of the men and women who attended Ivy League schools from the 1940s-1960s? Or that these photographs were part of a massive program to categorize the students based on body type? Or that every frickin’ blue-blood you’ve ever heard of (Bush, Hillary, etc.) could be in this archive somewhere? It’s all true. The NY Times has a huge story on one writer’s quest to find the photos.
- NASA plans a do-over on the whole “Teacher in Space” thing this week, as they send Barbara Morgan out of the atmosphere. Hopefully, they get her back down as well.
- Bonds finally passes Aaron as Baseball’s all-time home run king. A-Rod, you’re on deck …
- CBS & Web M.D. have come up with a handy list that lets kids know what drugs their cool friends are taking.
- Jobs & Co. play some catch-up: Apple releases their latest iMacs, for the first time including a spreadsheet program. (How retro is that?)
- Is that a monkey in your pocket, or are you just happy to be flying into NY’s LaGuardia airport?
- The University of Miami makes the cut (barely) in this list of the Top 10 dirtiest NCAA Division 1-A football programs.
