Sad to learn of the death of Harry Haun at 85: an old-school shoe-leather theater reporter whose long tenure at Playbill was an invaluable resource. I worked with him for years on committees and functions, and he was a lovely man. My thoughts are with his husband, Charles Nelson.

Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post because he couldn't admit that he didn't know how to run a newspaper, and also because he felt entitled to turn it into his personal plaything. Both are functions of his ego, his greed, his heedlessness, and his insecurity. What a dark day.

Unbelievable
