Oh no, Bono
Where the streets have no bike lanes: U2 had to postpone its week of nightly appearances on NBC’s “Tonight Show” after Bono injured his arm in a bicycle accident in New York’s Central Park (Page B4).
To make up for the cancelation, video of the accident has been uploaded free to every iTunes account.
Hold the mayo: After suing the makers of an egg-free spread called “Just Mayo” because it lacks the eggs to be called mayonnaise, the maker of Best Foods mayonnaise had to correct its own labeling to reflect that some of its products don’t contain enough vegetable oil to legally be called mayonnaise. Instead, they are now labeled as “mayonnaise dressing” (Page A7).
We’re still waiting for an explanation as to why Miracle Whip contains no actual miracles.
Don’t know much about history: On this date in 1964, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called Martin Luther King Jr., “the most notorious liar in the country” for allegedly saying FBI agents had failed to act on the complaints of blacks (Today in History, Page B4).
Hoover was also upset King had said red taffeta wasn’t a good look for him.
