...Haiti adviser Bill Gray said. At one point in an interview with ABC News, Gray upped the ante: "The coup leaders will not be allowed to stay in power." In the meantime, the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince bought radio air time on local stations to broadcast messages in local Creole warning fleeing Haitians: "If you take a new boat, one thing is certain: You won't get to the United States."

Throngs congregate on the lawn with their ice chests and settle in, anxiously awaiting the climactic "The 1812 Overture" which always ends the concert and is the cue for the fireworks to begin.

Four justices voted to rescind the "must carry" provision of the 1992 Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act, but the remainder decided to ship the case back to federal appeals court in the District of Columbia. The decision has only a short-term effect, though: there'll be plenty of room for the local stations in cable's 500-channel future...
