Good week, bad week: divorces and Edgar Allan Poe
Every seven days, the editors of The Week put their stamp on the news with their “Good Week/Bad Week” feature.
This week was a good week if you were planning on filing for a divorce, but a bad week if you happen to be 19th-century author Edgar Allan Poe, who may have lost a very special admirer.
