Clancy, master of the modern-day thriller, dead at 66,” by CNN’s Alan Duke: “Spy thriller writer Tom Clancy, whose

blockbuster films, has died, his publisher said Wednesday. He was 66.” http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/02/us/tom-clancy-obit/index.html
“The Writer and
the Man, Evermore,” by N.Y. Times’ Charles McGrath: “Edgar Allan Poe, among the unluckiest and most misunderstood
of writers, is the subject of a tasteful, thoughtful exhibition that opens on
Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum — about 100 years too late to do his
reputation much good. Among Poe’s misfortunes is that many of his American
contemporaries found his work morbid and unreadable. In some ways, he was the
Mickey Rourke or Jerry Lewis of 19th-century letters, better appreciated in
France, by writers like Baudelaire and Mallarmé, than he was at home.” http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/04/books/edgar-allan-poe-exhibition-opens-at-the-morgan.html?pagewanted=all
