...resident of Putnam Ave. stated that between March 12 at 9:15 a.m. and March 13 at 9 a.m. somone removed her diamond earrings she left on her bedroom dresser. Two known persons are the possible suspects that were in the house at the time...
...lifted from the battlefield by helicopter to a combat hospital within minutes of being hit. From there they are flown six-and-a-half hours to Landstuhl. "None of us have ever taken care of this large an amount of Americans injured in conflict," says Air Force Colonel Tyler Putnam, one of Landstuhl's trauma surgeons.

But it's fair to say that no stage has ever been so densely populated with wacky misfits as The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The off-Broadway musical, a sleeper hit that is moving to Broadway next month, charts the angst of six nerdy and needy young people as they wrestle down words like capybara and omphaloskepsis in their efforts to win a trip to the national spelling finals. Coming on the heels...
