cityfile · 10/05/09 08:46AMIf you haven't had time to read the lengthy story about disgraced lawyer Marc Dreier in the new issue of Vanity Fair, you can check out the Dreier interview that aired on 60 Minutes last night. The segment doesn't reveal much new info on Dreier, who is now behind bars for defrauding investors out of $400 million. But you will get to see the lonely lawyer pad around the apartment where he was under house arrest this spring and where he didn't have much to do all day but munch on cereal, read the newspaper, and watch TV. "Do you have any friends?" asks Steve Kroft. "It doesn't seem so." [CBS]

cityfile · 09/11/09 01:49PM• Today's awkward cable moments: CNN reported this morning that the Coast Guard opened fire on a boat on the Potomoc. (Not true.) And the geniuses at MSNBC thought it would be a really neat idea to once again commemorate 9/11 by re-airing its coverage from the fateful morning. Thanks, guys.
