Philip Merrill, the prominent publisher and former diplomat whose body was found floating in the Chesapeake Bay on Monday, suffered from a heart condition and apparently took his own life, his family said last night.

Merrill, 72, was found with a shotgun wound to the head and a small anchor tied around one or both ankles, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

I think there'd be an enormous difference in taste between eating a crustacean that feeds on whale crap and one that feeds on over the hill Washington bureaucrats...

Give me the ones that eat the crap...
