> of Directors has chosen to close Weekly World News. The reasons given
> make no sense. We’re stunned and shell-shocked. We’re to stay on
> through August 3, finishing the reprint issues and then we’re done. A
> glorious, funny, odd publication, born in 1979, will go out with a
> whimper and all I can think is that something’s going on that they’re
> not telling us because it just doesn’t make sense.
