The Brief, Aug. 25: Marilyn Bunkmate, Go Topless Day

Today's Brief brings you a couple of stories steeped in spookiness but smileworthy nonetheless. From abandoned homes to an abandoned tomb (to abandoned refrigerators?), there's a little bit of the unexpected in Tuesday's lineup. Of course we want to hit you up with inspiration from real people who turned dreams into reality, too. We're just balancing it out in our good ol' Tonic tradition.
Two brothers pushed through racial barriers and have made it to the big time, times two."Free your breast, free your mind." National Go Topless Day — a women's rights rally for justice? (or exhibitionism?)eBay shopper gets the winning bid — and a post-lifetime hovering above the Blonde Bombshell herself, Marilyn Monroe.And we keep cashin' in ... First clunkers, now Frigidaires. The United States keeps encouraging more energy efficient buys.What's a town to do with the sad remains of abandoned homes? The Neighborhood Stabilization Program makes room for more growth, less junk.
