Cherica Adams, 24, was gunned down Nov. 16 while driving her black BMW in a tony neighborhood of Charlotte, N.C. It was after midnight when, according to police, she came under fire from a drive-by car with three passengers. She was hit in the neck, chest and abdomen, but managed to call 911, surviving long enough to apparently finger Carruth, who is believed to be the baby's father. Rushed to the hospital, she later delivered her son by emergency C-section. Last week she died. The football player was arrested and released on $3 million bond...
...thank goodness. I find the very sight of raw broccoli and cauliflower on a buffet table dispiriting. I don't go to parties looking to balance my diet with the four major food groups or to consume the recommended daily allowance of fiber. For my own soiree, I hit Cajun Joey's Specialty Foods cajun-joeys.com) where sugar is the fifth major food group.

...closest thing to a red-blooded, extroverted American youth Schulz created was a beagle. Not coincidentally, Peanuts hit superstardom after Snoopy adopted his World War I flying-ace persona, zooming into the lucrative blue yonder of endorsements and licensing. Snoopy electric toothbrushes and snack cakes--there's a little Woodstock in every Pikachu under your tree this year. And yet Schulz's Christmas special is a plea against commercialism, in which Charlie Brown nurses a desiccated Christmas tree (twig, really) to health...
...does not extract tribute. It does not seek military occupation. It is not interested in acquiring territory--indeed, it specializes in giving it up, as shown in the Philippines and Panama. Economically, the world has prospered under the open trading system the U.S. supports. And culturally, America is a hit. Arnold is a universal icon. Latvians like their Levi's. And everyone loves McDonald...
