The New Yorker, Sept. 29A feature chronicles a Marine's struggle with PTSD, which led to his suicide and the death of his brother. After completing one tour of duty in Afghanistan and four in Iraq, Travis Twiggs set out for the Grand Canyon with his brother Willard, who faced problems of his own with drugs and alcohol. In "a landscape suited to an apocalyptic frame of mind," they tried—unsuccessfully—to drive into the canyon. A police chase two days later culminated in the deaths of both brothers. … Another piece delves into the details of Leona Helmsley's will and takes up broader questions about the moral implications of bequeathing billions of dollars to animals. Helmsley's wish to leave $12 million to her Maltese, Trouble, and the vast majority of her estate to establishing a trust intended to aid other dogs "reflects contempt for humanity as much as love of dogs."

About three months ago, Stephanie Strom of The New York Times broke the news that hotel heiress Leona Helmsley had given $5 billion to $8 billion in her bequest to her dog Trouble. As I wrote, the otherwise fascinating story failed to account for the origins of Helmsley’s misanthropy. Now Jeffrey Toobin of The New Yorker has advanced the storyline — Helmsley’s bequest, far from being an anomaly, epitomizes nothing less than a legal revolution. ...

Leona Helmsley may have been the queen of mean but she apparently loved dogs: In a two-page “mission statement,” Leona Helmsley left her entire trust, valued at $5 billion to $8 billion and amounting to virtually all her estate, be used for the care and welfare of dogs. It is by no means clear, however, that all the money will go to dogs. Another provision of the mission statement says Mrs. Helmsley’s trustees may use their discretion in distributing the money, and some lawyers say the statement may not mean much anyway, given that its directions were not incorporated into Mrs. Helmsley’s will or the trust documents. ...

Leona Helmsley's Greenwich estate just got $30 million cheaper. Yes, for just $95 million you can own the massive manor where the late Queen of Mean once told a servant, "Only the little people pay taxes." Oh, Helmsley also died there and given the fates of the home's previous owners, the house might be cursed. But it is on sale! NY Post: Leona Helmsley's 40-acre estate in Greenwich, Conn. - known as Dunnellen Hall - has been slashed from $125 million to a more svelte $95 million. The massive, 14-bedroom Jacobean residence, which went on the market in February, includes a winter garden with a 52-foot indoor pool, palatial public rooms, a theater, a wine cellar and tasting room, a gym, a music room, servants' quarters and views of the Long Island Sound. The gated grounds feature a 72-foot outdoor pool with a cabana, a tennis court, two guest cottages and a koi pond with a waterfall. It also comes with a dubious history of former owners whose lives were ruined while living under its expansive Ludowici roof. The last of whom was Leona, who died there last year and who spent time in the slammer for writing off improvements to the spread as business expenses. ...
