How did you ring in the new year?...

Headlines (from T-P) of stories I would rather not read:

Seven ring in new year with gun arrests
No cause released in death of tourist
City ends 2004 on grim note

Story lead that makes an earlier story seem even worse:

As lead consultant to the Regional Transit Authority, former Mayor Marc Morial's uncle Glenn Haydel steered insurance brokering deals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to his future wife and, after their marriage, to her business partner.

I can't add anything. Let me know how you feel about these stories.
