Give credit where credit is due: USA Today is the king of "Hey, Martha'' stories. In other words, talkers. On Page One today, for example, the newspaper publishes an inside account of a story that doesn't have many inside details: Presidential daughter Jenna Bush's hush-hush wedding near the family's Texas home, this Saturday."The girl whose regard for the press once included sticking out her tongue at reporters opted to leave the clamor of the White House behind in favor of some measure of privacy and intimacy at the 1,600-acre Prairie Chapel Ranch near Crawford,'' Maria Puente writes this morning.
Other examples today of "Hey, Martha, did ya see this story!"
- New York City officials plan within months to dispatch the nation's first ambulance equipped to preserve bodies of the newly dead so that families have time to consider organ donation.
- In suburban Los Angeles, 42-year-old Jill Price can recall in vivid detail every day of her life since age 14. Her new book, The Woman Who Can't Forget, tells the story of the first person ever confirmed by scientists to have such a superior autobiographical memory.
