Events overtake other sensational events. The horrid fatal crane disaster in Manhattan eclipses today's aftershocks from the still-breathtaking Spitzer case, as Paterson, who went to the site on Saturday, prepares to take the reins in Albany Monday. Some of the continuing coverage:
The use of the century-old Mann Act to prosecute members of the prostitution ring that Spitzer allegedly procured, discussed in this space before, is reviewed here by the Associated Press.
The New York Times dependably pursues campaign-finance angles. The significance of this one is unclear, but the paper's story today outlines an unusual arrangement between the Spitzer campaign and a consultant who dealt with some of the now-scrutinized travel arrangements.
There's this dramatic development: Spitzer walked the dog near his Manhattan apartment and got in the blue mini-van to take the family upstate to the summer house. Photos were taken. He asked for more room to get through on the sidewalk.
