...murdered. It was Fleet White whom John Ramsey called when the little girl was discovered missing the next day. And it was White who was close at hand when John Ramsey discovered the body of his daughter in a basement room. Sharing in the tumult, however, did not cement the friendship. By the time JonBenet was buried, the Whites and Ramseys were estranged and, until the Whites wrote an angry open letter two weeks ago to "the people of Colorado" about what they saw as the mishandling of the JonBenet murder investigation, the couple had kept silent for months.

Analysts expect the government's pork-laden largesse to pave the way for solid growth at major cement and aggregate (sand and gravel) providers as public construction projects multiply in the next few years. Firms like Lafarge, Southdown, Martin Marietta Materials and Vulcan Materials will be busy laying down the concrete and asphalt, so look for their relatively affordable shares to keep rolling higher...
