In a strange case of mistaken identity, police searched 80-year-old Cecil Bethea of Denver, suspecting that he was with a group of anarchist protesters, the Rocky Mountain News reported today. It's also on the front page of the paper, so it caught my eye.
U.S. News & World Report has a nice roundup of Day 1 convention coverage. Among other notes, this article says some Democrats fear that Bill Clinton will try to steal some thunder on Wednesday.
Anne Schroeder, over at politico.com, has some neat bite-sized items including some about the Obama daughters and celebrity sightings. Copy editors: Can you find a White House Thursday violator in the post from the aftermath of Michelle Obama's speech on Monday? (Hint: The preposition 'on' needs to go between 'House' and 'Thursday.')
Reporters, editors and photographers are starting to file into the pavilion. It's about 11:30 a.m. The big show gets under way at 3 p.m., but we'll see what else we can do before then. My co-intern and I have been trying to clean up the area (general mess in newsrooms is, apparently, a national phenomenon). An empty Cheetos mini-bag on the floor here, half-full water bottles on numerous tables. The DNC has created three disposal categories: one for recycling plastic/aluminum bottles, another for compost and another for trash.
My thing is that I'm never certain what qualifies as compost. I'll see what I can find out about how that's classified and maybe include a link.
