‘ ” The fictional detective for which Schutz is best known is Leo Haggerty, a District-based private investigator who has been compared to the Boston gumshoe known by the single name Spenser, created by author Robert B. Schutz and well-known crime novelist George Pelecanos, both native Washingtonians, are the District’s first home-grown, modern-day, major crime writers, said another Washington area novelist, James Grady, best known for the thriller “Six Days of the Condor” (1974). Schutz contacted him in the mid-’80s after a profile of Grady appeared in The Washington Post and Schutz had just sold his first story. The two met for dinner to discuss their writing, and a friendship was launched. Marvin, a psychologist and University of Virginia professor, said he also was contacted “out of the blue” by Schutz almost three years ago, after he read an article Marvin had written… “Schutz’s reality included close bonds with his sons, said the younger of the two, Jesse Lindenberger-Schutz, 29, who works for a mutual fund in Manhattan and does representational oil paintings. “He always wanted my brother and I to know that we could talk to him about anything,” he said. “We would talk about everything: music, philosophy, movies, soccer, art. “Schutz published “Whatever It Takes” and “Til Death Do Us Part,” short stories that featured the fictional Ellis brothers and based on his sons’ adventures as private investigators during college break. “I think Dad thought our one and only foray into ‘garbology’ was hilarious,” said Jakob Schutz, a third-year radiology resident in St. Louis, recalling their attempt to swipe someone’s trash to look for liquor bottles as evidence in a domestic dispute. Unfortunately, despite it being 3 a.

For Detroit, that means a run at the Cup. For the Avalanche, that means, first and foremost, the stretch run and the quest to make the playoffs, period. In a conference call with the media last week, Holland several times emphasized that in the cap age, the consensus is that the lower- salary end of the roster has to be home-grown, through the draft, and that dealing away picks and prospects for immediate help at the trading deadline isn’t as justifiable as it once was. Holland added that under the old CBA, there were “eight to 10 teams that spent salary-wise what we did. So we knew that if we traded some young players away, we had the financial advantage where we could hit the open market on July 1 and maybe replenish some of those things. “Everybody’s on a level playing field now.

The five-bedroom tract house, where siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter lived and penned some of their greatest hits, was featured on the cover of their 1973 hit album Now & Then. It was also where an anorexic Karen Carpenter collapsed in 1983 before dying. Owners Manuel and Blanca Melendez Parra have apparently grown weary of the parade of fans paying homage. The couple have submitted plans to officials in Downey, a city about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles, to raze the 39-year-old main house, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday. The Parras have already torn down an adjoining house and have begun construction on a larger home. The proposal to level the rest of the residence has angered fans. “This house is our version of Graceland,” said Carpenters aficionado Jon Konjoyan.
