A top staffer for Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) resigned Saturday evening after allegations emerged that he had solicited a prostitute. The Boston Globe reported on Sunday that David Wihby, 61, stepped down after a year as Ayotte’s state director in New Hampshire. He was arrested Friday night in Nashua on suspicion of attempting to hire a prostitute.

As we asked ourselves how we could have gotten the story wrong, we decided the only responsible and credible thing to do was to ask someone from outside the magazine to investigate any lapses in reporting, editing and fact-checking behind the story. We reached out to Steve Coll, dean of the Columbia School of Journalism, and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter himself, who accepted our offer. We agreed that we would cooperate fully, that he and his team could take as much time as they needed and write whatever they wanted. They would receive no payment, and we promised to publish their report in full. (A condensed version of the report will appear in the next issue of the magazine, out April 8th.) This report was painful reading, to me personally and to all of us at Rolling Stone. It is also, in its own way, a fascinating document—a piece of journalism, as Coll describes it, about a failure of journalism. With its publication, we are officially retracting 'A Rape on Campus.' We are also committing ourselves to a series of recommendations about journalistic practices that are spelled out in the report. We would like to apologize to our readers and to all of those who were damaged by our story and the ensuing fallout, including members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and UVA administrators and students. Sexual assault is a serious problem on college campuses, and it is important that rape victims feel comfortable stepping forward. It saddens us to think that their willingness to do so might be diminished by our failings.

The Quinnipiac survey, conducted from March 17-28, shows 55% of voters in Florida, 52% in Ohio and 51% in Pennsylvania support allowing adults "to legally possess small amounts of marijuana for personal use." Less than a fifth of voters in those states, however, say they'd "definitely" or "probably" use it. The number is lowest in Ohio, where just 14% of voters say they'd smoke pot if it were legal, while it's highest in Florida, where 17% say the same.

The Daily News says Victor Sena Blood-Dzraku will be served with the divorce summons via a private Facebook message. It will be repeated once a week for three consecutive weeks or until "acknowledged" by Ellanora Baidoo's hard-to-find husband.
Canada stands to lose about 70 percent of its glaciers by 2100, according to a new study published today in Nature Geoscience. This dramatic projected loss reflects a global trend of rapid glacier recession due to climate change, which has far-reaching economic, ecological, and social consequences. “It’s a worldwide experience of glacier loss, and that’s well-documented,” glaciologist Garry Clarke, the lead author of the study, told me over the phone. “We have to take charge of this and not make things worse.”
