Jesse Helms dies on July 4th
By Margaret Bassett
I picked up my hometown paper this morning where this AP story appeared with banner headline on first page. Now I find it in Salon. Jesse Helms is dead. Is it remarkable that 2 such diverse media picked it up? Or is the news in the fact that AP is the one covering the story. Or is it because he died July 4. Heck, both Adams and Jefferson did that!
