...That was the focus in court on Thursday when Reade Seligmann's lawyer pressed for lower bail and a speedy trial. "We want a trial as fast as we can get it," attorney Kirk Osborn said. "This young kid wants to go to school in the fall and he can't until this is resolved." By this time we had already heard about Seligmann's cab ride, ATM records, cell phone calls and dorm keycard all suggesting he could not have been present when the rape is supposed to have occurred. Osborn and the other defense lawyers have raised enough...
...Scotland that is rural land, 88% is privately owned, with two-thirds of that in the hands of 1,252 individuals, families and companies. Mohamed al Fayed, the Egyptian-born owner of swish department store Harrods, has 12,140 hectares; the Danish vice chairman of Lego, Kjeld Kirk Christiansen, 20,230 hectares. After the breakdown of Highland clan society in the turbulent years that followed parliamentary union with England in 1707, clan chiefs brutally evicted their tenants, clearing the land for more profitable sheep farming.

The film will center on the Starfleet Academy days of the duo, originally played by William Shatner and LEONARD NIMOY. The starship looked set for scrap after the 10th film and sixth TV series were busts. But don't line up for tickets yet. It's not due until...
...buyouts certainly add a new sense of urgency to a turnaround effort that until now some critics, such as GM's newest board member, Jerry York, investor Kirk Kerkorian's man in Detroit, had considered stuck in neutral. But things are not looking up at GM these days. The automaker recently disclosed it had lost $10.6 billion in 2005, not $8.6 billion as the company reported in January. March sales estimates prepared by outside analysts suggest that GM's market share has dipped close to 21% in March, a far cry from the 45% GM commanded in its heyday...
