News Summary

• The government released the text of a suicide note purportedly written by Jeffrey Epstein and found by his cellmate.
• The news made a big deal of it, but I don't see why.
• All it does, if real, is support the notion that Epstein killed himself, and that won’t add much to investigations of the victims of his enterprise.
• Ted Turner, the swashbuckling media titan who helped shape the modern cable-television industry, ushered in the era of 24-hour news.
