A Guy Most of You Will Never Meet Died Friday night. Brightest Young Things. A man who was coming home from work late this weekend was mugged. He later died in his sleep … a strange and terrible act of “randomness and absurdity.” According to various postings on the Adams Morgan listserv the death of Mr. Christopher Savage hasn’t been officially rules a homicide. Jim Graham, the councilman, posted a note about it on the list. “At about 3:45 AM on Saturday morning, a 35 year old male was robbed and beaten, on the 2200 block of Champlain at Kalorama. He was walking down Champlain, talking on his cell phone, when a group of men assaulted and robbed him. Thereafter he went to 18th Street and personally hailed a police car. Then they canvassed the neighborhood, but without success in finding his assailants. The police officers then drove him home to his temporary address on 16th Street. He declined to go to the hospital,” he wrote. “Later that day, he died on the couch at his temporary residence.”

Metro was packed for the Pope’s visit, writes urban bohemian. But it wasn’t the usual crowd. He writes: The only thing I can say about most of the riders was that they were very nice, aside from a few Type-A parents worried about getting separated from their kids, everyone was all smiles and “pardon me” and “i’m so sorry” when they bumped into you, so I can really only be upset with the sheer numbers of people, not their attitudes. (Photo of impressive crowd)
