SOMERVILLE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police officer who sent flowers to a crying woman she pulled over for speeding has received a commendation.
Somerville Officer Ashley Catatao received a Beyond the Call of Duty Award from Chief David Fallon on Tuesday for her empathy and professionalism during the Nov. 4 traffic stop.
NEW YORK (AP) — Rick Moody is finally letting "The Ice Storm" and some of his other previous works come out as e-books.
Electronic editions of four of Moody's books went on sale Tuesday, released by digital publisher Open Road Integrated Media. Besides "The Ice Storm," the other books include the novel "Purple America," the memoir "The Black Veil" and the short fiction collection "The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven." In a recent email, Moody told The Associated Press he had been reluctant to grant electronic rights because most publishers treated the e-editions as "an ancillary part of the lives of my books."
