...developments is a 29-page police affidavit based largely on the interview of a witness--said to be Gerard Capano, 34--who told authorities that he used his boat to help Thomas dispose of a body at sea and also helped him toss a stained sofa into a dumpster. Thomas Capano had told Gerard that a couple was trying extortion against him, and that he would kill them if they went after his children. At about 6 a.m. on June 28, 1996--the morning after Fahey was last seen--Thomas went to Gerard's house and asked if he could...
Brother Louis Capano Jr., 46, the millionaire owner of the family's construction business, confirmed last week that Gerard had told him a year ago about the body-tossing boat outing. He also said he saw the sofa in a Dumpster. Louis had previously been under investigation when his company's trash bins were emptied days ahead of schedule on the Monday after Fahey's disappearance.

As usual, Newt Gingrich goes too far when he talks about a culture of Dumpster babies, but why couldn't Melissa have wrapped the baby in a cloth and left him, as panicked girls used to do, someplace safe like the church steps, or turn to the Yellow Pages, filled with "pregnancy counseling" and "abortion alternatives...
...bishops lost moral high ground, however, when they tossed in the Dumpster the best chance to restrict late-term abortions since abortion was made legal. An astonishing thing happened during the debate over a bill to ban partial-birth abortions, which has no chance of actually becoming law, and wouldn't result in even one less abortion even if it did. Alarmed to learn of the many third-trimester abortions performed after six months, under milewide exceptions for vague reasons of mental health, Democratic Senator Thomas Daschle introduced a bill that would have banned all abortions in which the baby...
