July 30, 2018
By Erin Somers

Harassment Files
On Friday, CBS ceo Les Moonves was accused of sexual aggression by multiple women in a New Yorker article by Ronan Farrow. Some of the allegations, such as those of actor Illeana Douglas, date back to the late 1990s.

CBS’s independent directors said in a statement on Friday that they were “committed to investigating claims that violate the company’s clear policies…. Upon the conclusion of that investigation, which involves recently reported allegations that go back several decades, the Board will promptly review the findings and take appropriate action.”

The full CBS board already had a meeting scheduled for Monday, and will reportedly discuss whether Moonves should remain in charge while the investigation is being conducted.

Bookselling
Clinton Book Shop in Clinton, NJ will close on September 29, unless owner Harvey Finkel finds a last minute buyer. The store has been for sale for six months. In a letter to customers on Facebook, Finkel said that closing the store  “breaks our heart for so many reasons, one of the most significant is so many of you are more than customers, you are friends.”

Nine Stories booksellers in Pittsburgh will close on August 26, after two years of operation.
