Whipped Cream Difficulties

The NYT finally got around to publishing an obit for “Coots” Matthews.

Also among the dead: Morris Jeppson, one of the two men who armed the atomic bomb on board the Enola Gay.

By the way, “new” copies of The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back are going for $74.00 and up on Amazon. But you can still buy the audio book from Audible for $13.12. (Amazon link is for illustrative purposes, and does not imply endorsement of the book.)

Here’s the Statesman summary of the first day of the Billy Joe Shaver trial. It is hard to judge from just the prosecution’s side of the case, but I’m not thinking it looks good for Mr. Shaver; all the testimony so far is from people stating the shooting was unprovoked.

Edited to add: The LAT is reporting the death of Malcolm McLaren, former manager of the Sex Pistols.
