In Brief: Nick Cave to Present Turner Prize

So much news. So little time. Enter our new “In Brief” feature, a round-up of stories from other sources that we find intriguing but will (attempt to) spare from our characteristic verbosity and adjectival flare. Suggestions? We’re just an e-mail away at unbeige AT mediabistro.com. You can also use the anonymous tips box (in the column at near right), which also supplies us with a steady stream of epistles from deposed African royalty seeking our assistance in recovering their purloined fortunes.
