Toddler’s cuss word on ‘Modern Family’ draws ire

“We hope they know better,” said Hatch. Hes asking his clubs members, whom he said number 35,000 in the United States and about three-dozen other countries, to complain to ABC.

LONDON — A new literary prize aims to reward book reviews with edge.

The Hatchet Job of the Year Award honors “the angriest, funniest, most trenchant” review published in a newspaper or magazine in 2011.
