WORK, and a relative lack of news (or what passes for news here), causes me to mostly skip today, except for this: ANITA PALLENBERG, the German-Italian actress and model who became best known for her relationships with members of the Rolling Stones, died on Tuesday in a hospital in Chichester, West Sussex, England. She was 73. In addition to the NYT obit, The Guardian makes more of an essay of it.
