When Vicky Ward profiled Jeffrey Epstein for Vanity Fair, allegations of his attempted seduction of two young sisters were excised from the final piece.
BREAKING

Multiple gunmen attacked a satirical magazine in Paris on Wednesday, shouting "We have avenged the Prophet." Police said at least 12 people were killed, two of them believed to be police officers. The gunman used automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenade launchers in the assault on Charlie Hebdo and are still at large. Graphic videos shot from the roof of the building show the assailants shooting and killing a police officer.

The magazine was the target of a terrorist attack before, bombed in 2011 after publishing an anti-Islamic cartoon. In his speech on the scene, French President Hollande claimed that multiple terrorist attacks had been foiled in the past few weeks, and that this attack on the magazine happened even though it was under protection.

The last tweet published on Charlie Hebdo's Twitter before the attack was a spoof cartoon of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi giving a New Year's greeting.

CARRY ON

The University of Virginia announced Tuesday that, beginning immediately, Greek life may resume. The decision comes just one month after the now-controversial Rolling Stone report on rape at the campus. The announcement did come with new restrictions on fraternities, including rules such as having at least three members stay sober and hiring a security guard for large parties.

RATTLING

An improvised explosive device detonated near the NAACP chapter in Colorado Springs on Tuesday was deliberate, the FBI said. Authorities are seeking a balding white male, about age 40, who "may be driving a 2000 or older model dirty, white pickup truck with paneling, a dark colored bed liner, open tailgate, and a missing or covered license plate," the FBI said in a statement. The blast happened near a barbershop next to the NAACP just before 11 a.m. The neighborhood suffered minor damage but no injuries occurred. It is unclear whether the explosive was directed toward the civil-rights organization. A gasoline canister was placed next to the bomb but did not ignite, according to an FBI spokeswoman.
