...councilman known for his campaign against violence, was shot dead during a council meeting; in New York City. Davis' assailant was a political opponent, 31-year-old Othniel Askew, who apparently smuggled a gun in as he accompanied Davis through a security checkpoint (council members and their guests routinely bypass metal detectors). After he pumped several bullets into Davis, Askew was in turn shot dead by a police officer. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who was only a few doors away, vowed to tighten City Hall security...
...hours after the shooting, which occurred just after 2pm, New Yorkers were horrified that a gunman could have brought a weapon into a municipal building after Sept. 11.

But Hilson contracted a severe staph infection. To treat it, doctors "kept cutting back the flesh and bone," he recalls, until his entire sternum was removed, leaving his beating heart visible just under the skin...
...sign of any disagreement - and there will certainly be many - both parties will be on the phone to the White House. Sharon, in particular, who has already held 8 meetings with President Bush since both men assumed office, has a habit of going straight to the top, preferring to bypass even Secretary of State Powell, and barely registers the presence of lesser envoys. He knows he has the President's ear, after...
