Barometer, 9/3

What's Hot: 
Clark County will get its first new top cop in eight years next year. Doug Gillespie's surprising retirement is reminder that something unpredictable is always just around the corner. Next?
What's Not: 
The trial balloons will soon float higher or deflate. Announcement releases and/or news conferences are coming. Hollow promises and sad equivocations are nigh. Happy Campaign '14!
What's Hot Title: 
New sheriff in town
What's Not Title: 
Summer doldrums
