The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

CELEBRIS REPORT Computer scientist who pioneered copy/ paste’ dies Larry Tester, the Silicon Valley pio neer who created the now-ubiquitous computer concepts such as “cut,” “copy” and “paste,” has died. He was 74. He made using computers easier for generations as a proponent and pioneer of what he called “modeless editing.” That meant a user wouldn’t have to use a keyboard to switch between modes to write and edit, for example. “The inventor of cut/copy & paste, find & replace, and more was former Xerox researcher Larry Tesler. Your workday is easier thanks to his revolu tionary ideas,” Xerox said in a tweet Wednesday. Tesler was born in New York and attended Stanford University, where he received a degree in mathematics in 1965. In 1973, he joined Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, a division of the copier company that worked on creating com puter products. There, he pioneered concepts that helped make computers more user-friendly. That included such concepts as moving text through cut and paste and inserting text by clicking on a section and just typing. He continued that work when he joined Apple in 1980. At Apple, he worked on a variety of products including the Lisa computer, the Newton personal digital assistant and the Macintosh. After leaving Apple in 1997 he co founded an education software company and held executive positions at Amazon, Yahoo and the genetics-testing service 23andMe before turning to independent consulting. In 2012, Tesler told the BBC that he enjoyed working with younger people. “There’s a very strong element of excitement, of being able to share what you’ve learned with the next genera tion,” he said. Associated Press TCM plans 25-hour tribute to actor Douglas on March 5 He was Spartacus! Not to mention Vin cent van Gogh. Those are just two of the memorable characters played by Kirk Douglas, the Hollywood he-man who died on Feb. 5 at 103. To honor his legacy, Turner Classic Movies will present a 25-hour marathon of Douglas’ movies on March 5. The 11 movies on tap include his 1946 screen debut, “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers,” which kicks things off at 6 a.m. Other highlights include the 1947 film noir “Out of the Past” (2 p.m.); the 1950 musical drama “Young Man With a Horn” with Doris Day and Lau ren Bacall (3:45 p.m.); the van Gogh bio “Lust for Life” (1956) at 5:45 p.m.; Stan ley Kubrick’s World War I drama “Paths of Glory” (1957) at 8 p.m.; the 1960 gladi ator epic “Spartacus” (9:45 p.m.) and 1952’s “The Bad and the Beautiful” (2:30 a.m.), featuring Douglas’ Oscar-nomi nated performance as a ruthless film producer. A bonus feature at 1:15 a.m. will be “Live From the TCM Classic Film Fes tival: Michael Douglas,” Ben Mankie- wicz’s 2018 interview in which Douglas’ son discusses his famous dad.

A feeling of longing and a long ing for feeling — these are the human elements behind the meaningful accomplishments of the day. You’ll be on the lookout for this in yourself and others wherever you go. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Before making a choice, make sure that the lineup of options is actually the best you can do. “Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.” — Jerry Garcia GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The difference between chal lenging yourself and forcing things can be subtle. There’s no need to get there faster or show up stronger. Anything that feels pushed is probably wrong. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Once the thing you love gets popular, you’ll have less access to it. Right now, it’s pretty wonderful to love something that others don’t get yet. It allows you the chance to flow appreciation to it openly and without com petition. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve been working hard and the temptation will be to play just as hard. Perhaps “hard” is not going to help matters. What can you do to make both work and play a little easier on yourself? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your love is not a bubble that will pop when it smacks upon a sharp reality. Your love is made of tougher stuff, a du rable elastic not duplicated anywhere else in the universe. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). It happens so very rarely, but this is one of those times. Truly, you’ll be better off if you lose your usual diplomacy and get something off your chest. Speak the truth. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Getting out of a stuck place will be about the same no matter what kind of “stuck” it is. Jiggle, jostle and turn. Move until something about the situation changes. Wiggle until you’re free. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you’re new, you have to work a little harder, smarter and more creatively than the others. There will be a way to defer to the big shots and still be powerful in your own right. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everyone doesn’t have to know what you’re good at. If you know, that’s enough. The confidence you feel will come through in your posture and your being, no words neces sary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18). There you go thinking of who you might have been were certain turns not taken. It’s only a helpful flight of fancy if it changes your thought process for the next turn. Otherwise, the best policy is: no regrets. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll give more than they were expecting. You’ll give more than you were expect ing. Things just happen in the moment, and it’s in every one’s best interest.
