Blogger (and copy editor) turns Good Samaritan

Larry Harnisch, a longtime copy editor at the Los Angeles Times who also created The Daily Mirror, a blog that gives new life to items extracted from the paper's archives, was honored by District Attorney Steve Cooley for helping save a woman from a beating by her husband outside the Pasadena police station in 2007. The woman suffered permanent injuries before Harnisch and Quoleshna Elbert, who also was honored, could stop the attack. Their testimony helped send the assailant to prison.
