Bennett Roth, of the Washington bureau of our very own Bush-loving Houston Chronicle . A reasonable question. And the press corps has been very respectful in the past of treating family members with privacy, and I'm certain that you are going to do so again. I hope so. Roth's own story the day after the press conference played down the incident.
Home Things are tough all over in our city's media world.
First, Houston's Other , the alternative weekly that tried to fill the void left by the passing of the Public News , bit the dust itself. We sympathize with KPRC staffers. Many of them are no doubt dying to call home to brag about the latest titty-related story their bosses are forcing them to air. We're guessing they'll eventually throw their hands up in despair and bow to the inevitable. We figured we had some time to organize the thing, seeing how Castilla, a former member of the Colorado Rockies, seemingly hadn't had a home run since he left the friendly confines of Coors Field.
