Austin, Texas is one of those cool cities, right up there with Seattle and Boston. So its chamber of commerce was probably not pleased when Skip Hollandsworth published "The Midnight Assassin" in 2015. That chronicles the serial murders that took place there in the late 19th century.    The killings were intermittent. They began with servant girls and ended with two upper-middle women.    The murders were never solved.

Russell poached a plane at Seattle-Tacoma Airport.  There will be much speculation why Richard B.   But it is likely that not even he really understood what was motivating him. It seemed he was trying to sort that out while he was flying.    Psychologists have many theories about what drives people to do what they do. But most of them seem to be a force-fit on specific human behavior. The explanation seems too pat.

Did Pinkberry really need to remind me that the store is opening in Santa Barbara? Because I'm driving down State St., and I know where I am.
