--Does architecture critic John King ever like anything? --Sad! The San Franciscan speller in the National Bee got the dreaded misspelling bell of death this afternoon in the quarter finals, on the word "ursigram." --Giuliani's in town. Lock up your wives, cousins, and ferrets. Good thing Chron political writer Carla Marinucci loves him. --They reconvicted medicinal pot grower Ed Rosenthal, but he doesn't get any jail time. --BART may run more frequently, if they......

Total number of people pictured in this week's Swells society column: 48. Number of people pictured whom we recognize: 2 (Kamala Harris and Willie Brown, at separate events).

They think it's the body of a man who was fleeing the cops after being reported robbing offices at the UCSF Mission Bay campus. If you have any information, call UCSF officer Ed Huang at (415) 476-1414. Gas: The third entry is always the hardest. Um.... K-FOG (get it?) rival station 106.9 Free FM just fired talk radio DJ John London after he issued a death threat on Penn Jillette. London says he was upset that Jillette called Mother Teresa slutty (we're paraphrasing) and a fraud, but that his $7000 fatwa was made sarcastically. Only $7000 to kill Penn Jillette? ...

Doesn't anyone in the 415 want a Keith Haring mural? A local SoMA day care center for underprivileged youth puts its Keith Haring mural on the block, with no local takers. Back in 1985, artist Keith Haring painted (for free) a funky, 77 foot mural along the wall of the gym of the South of Market Child Care Center. He painted it in one day, while in town for another project down the street at......
