CELIBACY SENTENCE. Alberto Gonzales, 27, of Salem, Ore., carries the AIDS virus and knows it, but he did not tell his girlfriend during their two-year relationship. After pleading no contest to a felony-assault count for transmitting the virus, Gonzales was given an unprecedented sentence: he is not allowed to have sex or even dates for five years. Officials concede this will be difficult to enforce, but Gonzales will be strictly supervised and will have to wear an electronic surveillance device for six months. Judge Janice Wilson said she will send Gonzales to jail if he violates the order...

Santacruz's half-brother and confidant, Luis Santacruz Echeverri, has been convicted on conspiracy charges in Miami, and his personal financial adviser, Edgar Alberto Garcia Montilla, has been jailed in Luxembourg for money laundering...
Society can be cruel, mainly because the people who form them can be cruel. Alberto Grella beat me up every day in the schoolyard when I was in second grade. And I've got to admit that part of me still wants to rip him to shreds. I don't think that the cruel side of my character would emerge as Robert Alton Harris paid the price for his sins. But it might...
