David Letterman 's would-be extorter - TV guy Joe Halderman - agreed today to 6-month jail sentence. Does this close the matter for you?

I was never that interested in the matter to begin with. Clearly that seemed to be an attempt to extort money, so a jail sentence seems to be an appropriate outcome. I don't know how long of a sentence would be appropriate, six months seems on the light side.

I admire Letterman's refusal to be blackmailed, though not the behavior that led to the extortion threat.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
