CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT A considerate mate who's trying to join the police force has just realised that it's probably not a good idea for him to stick around much longer.

ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact A French Quarter leasing agent was told there was a territorial magpie down Rue De Enculer - but he didn't care.
