Bill Keller Brings Word of Judith’s Brave Struggle
l Bill Keller is worried that is star mole reporter, Judy Miller, isn’t eating enough in prison: “The food has not agreed with her and we have been trying to impress on her that she needs to eat. We have been hammering that in.”
Touching. From the Puerto Rico Herald:
A Puerto Rican soldier died in an accident
Thursday in Iraq, just hours before another Puerto Rican reserve
soldier killed in a convoy attack there was buried on this Caribbean
island.…
Serrano will be buried in Puerto Rico, but it’s uncertain when his remains will arrive.
"Everybody
was his friend, and he never had problems with anyone," his brother,
Juan Carlos Serrano, told WLII, choking back tears."On
the contrary, he always helped people and expected nothing in return.
We were always together, and he was a good brother, and I hope God has
him up there with him right now."
Keller tells E&P that Miller is cautious about doing interviews because that could “antagonize the judge” and that “they still control her life.”

Keller tells us that she is only able to watch the shows she likes when the more popular shows on the cell block, hip-hop and rap music videos aren’t on.

Keller assures us that others from the paper have signed up to visit the brave Judy and that she has been making calls out of the prison regularly.
Keller has been doing his best to let Miller know what’s going on at the paper. He says that she gets along well with the other women in the cell block and that they know what she’s in for.

Keller hopes Fitzgerald’s investigation will wrap early up so Miller can get out soon.

Poor Judy. It breaks my heart. Oh, how she suffers so.

Powerful juxtaposition, eRobin. Well done.
We well-heeled but street savvy white folk instantly recognize Bill Keller’s nuanced way of saying THERE ARE DANGEROUS NEGROES IN THERE! And not a Hardball fan in sight, poor dear.
Judy bangin’ wit da OGs now. Yeah.
Pity it ain’t Christmas.
