Woman abducted, assaulted in Chch
The victim was walking along Chester Street West between the Christchurch District Court Building and the western side of Victoria Square between 10 and 10.30am. She was grabbed by two males and dragged behind a hedge area at the end of Chester Street West and indecently assaulted. A passing member of the public intervened after hearing the woman's cries for help and the men ran off. Police would like to speak to anyone who saw this incident or who have information about who might have been involved, particularly the man who came to the woman's aid. The police are looking for a male, Maori, aged 20 - 25 years old, with longish hair, unshaven, with tattoos up his arms. He was wearing a dark coloured hooded sweatshirt and a pair of baggy blue jeans, ripped at both knee.
Battling book fairs try to reach an accord
For the last two years, one of the brightest spots on the literary calendar has been the Brooklyn Book Festival, a bustling affair held in September at Brooklyn Borough Hall. One could attend appearances by Brooklyn writers like Colson Whitehead, Paula Fox, and Joshua Ferris or purchase books from the myriad small publishersUgly Duckling Presse, Hotel St. Georgethat have found refuge in this most literary of boroughs. Earlier this year, New York Is Book Country, a similar showcase of writers and publishers usually held in Midtown, announced its return after a three-year absence. This should have been welcome news, especially in the face of depressing statistics about declining reading audiences. But BBF organizers were astounded when NYIBC moved its next festival from their originally announced July date to September 14, so that the two festivals would fall on the same weekend.
