Comment on 3 tell of gruesome injuries, death at Boston Marathon

Longtime Denver journalist Marilyn Robinson, who broke into a male-dominated news industry and set a standard for tenacious and accurate police reporting over 45 years, died on Saturday at the age of 89. Former colleagues remembered her as a 5-foot-3, Keds tennis shoe-clad woman with enormous grit. Through multiple casts of owners and editors at The Denver Post, Robinson carefully gathered information on law enforcement and crime, then produced thousands of reports conveying the hard side of a rapidly expanding city. Robinson relied on relentless questioning, modeling the methods and core values of journalism to inform the public — even when the news was horrific and unwelcome, such as the murder of JonBenet Ramsey and the Columbine High School tragedy, for which The Post won a Pulitzer Prize. She worked mostly in the newsroom beneath towering stacks of old newspapers and her notes, making countless calls to dispatchers, desk sergeants and frontline officers from the old landline telephones, sometimes with a phone on each ear, sustaining herself on coffee, Pepsi, popcorn and yogurt.

The Colorado Avalanche has been the NHL’s best offense in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but it might get a needed boost against the stingy Dallas Stars.

As the spring semester comes to a close, protests demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas war continue to spread at Colorado colleges, with a new encampment at the University of Denver and disturbances reported at graduation ceremonies last weekend for the University of Colorado Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver. A group called DU for Palestine set up a Gaza solidarity encampment at DU’s Carnegie Green on Thursday, mirroring the efforts of the Denver Students for a Democratic Society and Colorado Palestine Coalition, who began an encampment at the Auraria Campus on April 25. DU administrators shared a new interim policy on protests and demonstrations that day, creating guidelines for acceptable demonstrations and prohibiting those that disrupt meetings or events, impede other DU community members from engaging in free expression, or harm people or property.
