...supplied by Billig, investigators traced a series of incoming phone calls to her one-story stucco home in the Coconut Grove enclave in Miami to a cellular phone owned by Henry Johnson Blair, 48, a U.S. Customs special agent with 24 years of distinguished service. Last month Dade Circuit Court prosecutors charged Blair with three counts of aggravated stalking and alleged that he had admitted to harassing Billig over the past 18 months. After Blair pleaded not guilty, he was freed on a $75,000 bond. Now investigators are racing to reconstruct Blair's movements on March...
...federal appeals court has ruled that African-Americans cannot sue the government for damages resulting from slavery. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 3-0 ruling, said that the seven plaintiffs failed to point to specific government actions that violated their rights.

That situation forced the 34-year-old retailer to liquidate its merchandise and close its 90 East Coast stores...
...mother is the ground wire in my father's electrical circuit," says Michael Powell, the couple's 32-year-old son. "She helps him not get so electrified that he does something against his better judgment. She will not get caught up in the carnival. I can't tell you the number of times I've watched in near embarrassment as she chastises him"--for believing his p.r., for getting windy or phony during a speech, for allowing Larry King to stroke him like a cat. "She gets ticked off," says Michael. "She'll say, 'My, that man of mine...
