  1. Elderly Siblings Arrested Over Toilet Paper Tussle

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">A squabble over a roll of toilet paper landed an elderly pair of Brooklyn, NY siblings in jail last week. Sixty-seven-year-old Howard Meltzer and his 72-year-old sister Bernice have been on the outs for years. In fact, even though they share a house together they have a restraining order against each other. But things came to a head last week when the sister allegedly dashed to her bedroom with the last roll of Charmin and locked herself in. So Howard, who walks with a cane and sometimes uses a motorized scooter, banged on her door and didn&rsquo;t let up until almost midnight. &ldquo;The roll was full when I went there in the morning&rdquo; Howard said. &ldquo;She unloaded a whole roll and left just a little, and when I looked up to the reserve it wasn&rsquo;t there.&rdquo; Howard then threatened to call the police on his sister who, he said, put the roll back by midnight.&rdquo; By that time she was fed up with her brother&rsquo;s constant banging and called 911. Because the two were under restraining orders the cops charged them both with violating them. Both were released without bail. &ldquo;I can only imagine what was going on with those two,&rdquo; said a law-enforcement source, who added &ldquo;But when you gotta go, you gotta go.&rdquo;</span>

  6. Review: 'Cooked' by Michael Pollan

    Michael Pollan went shopping for lunch in a Brooklyn, N.Y., supermarket, and the news made the New York Times. That the Times' Dining section had asked him to go, along with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael Moss, was the major reason, of course. But the idea of asking Pollan, the man who coined the dietary dictum, &quot;Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants," to come down from the Mount Olympus of artisan food that is Berkeley, Calif., to shop with the hoi polloi in a regular ol' supermarket struck me as interesting, fun and, most of all, newsy.
