News for white gloves.

The article informs that David Kennedy's death in a Palm Beach hotel room in April made the newspaper "Palm Beach Daily News." That in itself was news of a kind. A decade ago the paper was determinedly escapist, shunning bad news and problems as if they were dull cocktail parties. That changed with the arrival of Agnes Ash, a "New York Times," reporter in the 1950s and later a Miami business writer, who became publisher in 1976. The town has changed, too. Florida weather and tax breaks draw ever more permanent residents, and the pace of the narrow, mansion-packed barrier island has picked up.
