The Front Page: Edwards remembered, a snatched dog returned and the Pelicans may have found a coach

By Chad Calder


REMEMBERING EDWIN EDWARDS: Former Gov. Edwin Edwards, who died Monday morning at his home in Gonzales at 93, is a central figure in Louisiana political history. The four-term governor was loved and loathed, and we've collected his most memorable quips, thoughts from others on his life and his legacy and a key moment in his notorious race against David Duke.


THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: Cheering crowds, squealing tires and spinning cars have cropped up on social media once again, and the city's patience is wearing thin with what appears to be an increasingly popular trend in cities large and small. An incident in the warehouse district Sunday evening is under investigation, and the police are saying they can confiscate cars used to cut donuts in raucous gatherings.


JERK STEALS DOG: Let's get something straight: Dog napping? Adorable. Dognapping? Reprehensible. Fortunately, this tale of Korben, a 6-month-old Yorkie snatched from his owner's backyard in Kenner, ends in a tearful, happy reunion.


READY TO SWOOP? The New Orleans Pelicans are closing in on a former team member to tap as its new head coach. The team reportedly feels Willie Green, the lead assistant with the Phoenix Suns and 12-year veteran NBA player, is the man for the job.


All this and much more in today’s Front Page. Thanks for starting your day with us.
