??” One of the two Newsweek journalists behind the article alleging that U.S. interrogators had desecrated the Koran said he had underestimated the impact of the report and dropped the ball by not properly corroborating his anonymous source.

New York Michael Isikoff, in an interview televised Monday night on The Charlie Rose Show, said he regretted the possibility that his article may have enflamed rioters in several Muslim countries, including Afghanistan where at least 15 people were killed.

"It was terrible what happened," he told Mr. Rose. "Even if it was just a little bit that we contributed to the violence that went on over there, that was awful, terrible."

WHAT'S up with Blackbook magazine? Sources say owner Ari Horowitz is "desperately" trying to sell it and has approached several players ??” all of whom have turned him down. Meanwhile, the real problem may be that staffers aren't getting paid. "The Friday before last, no one got paid," said an insider. "People were told the magazine was being bought and so they wanted to appear cash-flush ??” but that didn't ring true because apparently they did not have money to pay the printers to make the June-July book, so the deadline was pushed back." A Blackbook rep declined comment.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A previously unknown play by Jack Kerouac, written in the same year as his beatnik classic novel "On The Road" was published, has been discovered languishing in a warehouse more than three decades after his death.

Best Life magazine, which plans to publish an excerpt from the play called "Beat Generation" in its July issue, said on Monday the play came to light when Kerouac's agent Sterling Lord was going through old files in a warehouse in New Jersey.

The play details "a day in the drink-and-drug-hazed life of his own literary alter ego, Jack Duluoz, as he parties and gambles with thinly veiled characters based on Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady and other Beat legends."
