In 1992 David Gagnon, 37, quietly settled his suit for three years of sexual molestation by the Rev. Michael Doucette, one of two active Portland, Me., priests suspended March 9.

Nearly one-third of Born sales has come from the region, an unusually high proportion for a debut album by Australian and British musicians. The bond bombshells may give purists a bad case of classical gas, but their tracks play so well against those of regional pop bands that the group was awarded a coveted opening slot at the recent inaugural MTV Asia Awards...
