News Wrap-Up
1. Edward Jackson, Powell Street Cable Car turntable funk-tap-dancer, is moving on.
He's feeling pushed out by all the commercial development on that point of Market, and now he's going to take his show to Sydney for a couple of months, then onward to Japan for the Cherry Blossom Festival, then on to street festivals in Rotterdam and Paris, by September.
Leading indicator? Let's hope not.
2. It's all about the sex-ed.

4. There goes the Cartoon Network's chief.
5. The Pentagon forms its causus belli against Iran
