I found this article while reading a blog that is actually popularby this writer known as "Slacktivist". It may be the most abrupt and creepy ending to any news story ever:
The dancing continued past the ball’s official end at midnight. Mr. Wilson had to tell people to go home. The fathers took their flushed and sometimes sleepy girls toward the exit. But one father took his two young daughters for a walk around the hotel’s dark, glassy lake.
That is the ENDING to a New York Times story. Read that sentence. The two page story just ends there. I’m sorry, but that sentence is the beginning of a story, probably one that ends up as a plot on Law and Order SVU. How on earth did a New York Times editor allow that to be the ENDING to a story?
