The following script has been working well for awhile, but of late it's producing strangeness within iCal itself. The event seems to be created, but the graphic on the calendar is somehow an inverse image, and cannot be selected. Only the initial letter of the event name shows. Has anyone seen this occur?

It looks like a bug in iCal. I think it's related to the way you've specified the line breaks in the description. If you do it this way:


set newEvent to make new event at the end of events of (item 1 of (calendars whose title is "Home")) with properties {summary:"Joe Guidry", start date:current date, allday event:true, description:"Joe Guidry" & return & "editorial page deputy editor" & return & "The Tampa Tribune"}

it should look OK.

A technical explanation may well involve the words "Unicode" and "ASCII", and I'm not able to provide one. :-)
