Good Morning, it’s Saturday, 3 February 2018, and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.

Dennis Edwards, lead singer for The Temptations has died. He was 74. In the opening video (above) Edwards is to the left of David Ruffin. You need to see Dennis Edwards perform to understand his impact on music and the “Motown Sound”.
The Potomac Drama: The White House declassified the “memo” yesterday, clearing the way for its release to the general public. The Republicans say it proves bias against the President; the Democrats (and the Justice Department, which did not want the “memo” released) say it’s inaccurate, incomplete, massively flawed, reckless, and out of sync with the timing of events. Expect more “memos”; also expect more damaging “leaks” from/about the Administration. What a mess.
Super Bowl LII will be played tomorrow. For this weekend and into Monday, America will have something to talk about besides the mess in Washington.
The Daily Grope: The CEO of the Humane Society has resigned after charges of sexual misconduct, prompted by actions by the board of the Society and the Society’s biggest donors.
A large New York/Dubai investment fund, the Abraaj Group, has been accused by investors of misusing investment funding. Both the management of the fund and the investors in it have requested audits to sort the situation out.

Please check out the CNN “text news” site, which is much faster than their full multi-media site. It’s below at the end of the links.
A new link to the Boston Globe newspaper has been added. We’ve also added a link to The Local, an English language newspaper in Norway.
Also, we’ve added tech site Ars Technia to The Nightshift. To reflect the growing impact of technology in our life, we will be adding more technology centric sites in the future.
