From St. James to St. Petersburg

Sometimes we're like, jeez, what is going ON on Long Island? So we turn to the Avis of Long Island newspapers, the Press, and go to their "Local News" section. Amid updates on the local Taco Hell and Long Island DWI crash of the week, we found this:


A story about a Russian who was poisoned in England.

For a newspaper that grabs a good deal of its content from syndication (hello, Roger Ebert!), does the Press really need their own writer to give us updates on the poisoned spy? What's next? Ed Lowe in Tehran? (Actually, that's not a bad idea.)
