...CHARGED. STAFF SERGEANT CHAD CARPENTIER and LANCE CORPORALS DANIEL SMITH, DOMINIC DUPLANTIS and KEITH SILKWOOD; with the rape of a 22-year-old Filipino woman; in Olongapo City, the Philippines. The four U.S. Marines, in the country to participate in military exercises, are accused of raping the woman in a van on Nov. 1 at the former U.S. naval base of Subic Bay. The soldiers, who deny the charges, face a court martial in Okinawa in addition to their trial in the Philippines...

...died. All of which became fodder for his stand-up. "You know something I found out?" he said of his self-immolation. "When you're on fire and running down the street, people get out of your way." CHARGED. JACOB ZUMA, 63, former Deputy President of South Africa; with rape; in Johannesburg. A one-time heir apparent to President Thabo Mbeki, Zuma was dismissed earlier this year after his financial adviser was found guilty of fraud and corruption; Zuma himself was charged with corruption soon after. The charismatic politician denies any wrongdoing and says he will fight the rape charges...
