Harper Lee Writes Again Ever since Harper Lees novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, was published in 1960 and went on to sell 2.5 million copies in its first year and win the Pulitzer Prize, the author has led a low-profile life. Ms. Lee, now 80, has published virtually nothing of significance since then except a 1983 book review. But now she has written something for publication. It is a letter for O, the Oprah Winfrey magazine, about how she became a reader as a child in a rural, Depression-era Alabama town, The Associated Press reported. In the magazines July special summer reading issue, Ms. Lee recalls becoming a reader before she entered first grade. Older sisters and a brother read to her; her mother read her a story a day; her father read her newspaper articles. Then, of course, it was Uncle Wiggily at bedtime, Ms. Lee writes of the popular old-time childrens character, right. She notes that books were scarce in the 1930s in the town, Monroeville, where she still lives part time; and the scarcity of books in a town without movies and parks made them a special treasure. Now, she writes, 75 years later in an abundant society where people have laptops, cellphones, iPods and minds like empty rooms, I still plod along with books. Axl Rose Arrested in Stockholm Axl Rose, below, the Guns N Roses frontman, was arrested yesterday and accused of biting a security guard in the leg after a night of partying that followed a concert in the Globe Arena in Stockholm, The Associated Press reported. A police spokeswoman, Towe Hagg, said Mr. Rose, 44, had been held on suspicion of attacking and threatening the guard and damaging the Berns Hotel. He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away, she said. The origin of the incident was unclear, but Swedish newspapers said the guard had tried to intervene when Mr. Rose began to argue with a woman in the hotel lobby. The Web site of the newspaper Aftonbladet (aftonbladet.se) quoted Fredrik Nylen, a police officer, as saying that Mr. Rose acted aggressively toward the police and had to be handcuffed and restrained. Officer Nylen said, He kept a high profile, so to speak. The penalty for violent conduct could be as high as four years in prison; conviction for a misdemeanor might bring six months in prison or a fine, Reuters reported. China Finances Theater In West Africa China is plowing $35 million into the construction of the biggest theater in West Africa, an 18,000-seat three-level structure with parking for 3,000 cars in Senegal, Reuters reported.
