The day the shuttle crashed was the day that I drove up in the snow to the Hunter Mountain ski town of Windham, N.Y., to try to meet people to plan for the newspaper's expansion up there. When I got back down the mountain, I discovered that the owner and publisher of the paper had been arrested with his best friend as well as the head of the local radio station. They had been caught filming a porn flick with a local lady of the evening. It was something the man was known for, but he wouldn't let us publish his arrest in the paper. He called in a huge amount of favors with local bigwigs and somehow the charges got dropped against the other two guys while his charge was reduced to a single misdemeanor count of solicitation.
He sold the paper a few months after that.
