...here to try to block this--we want to cooperate to make it a responsible, sustainable development and stop the 'rape, ruin and run' approach of some of these companies," says Morrison. The council advises ranchers like Dube on their rights and helps them find lawyers and make surface-disturbance agreements with the gas companies...
...much, it turned out. A 13-year-old girl who had been on the show claimed that Horn had had sex with her; in 1956 he was indicted on four statutory rape charges and four charging corruption of the morals of a minor. The day of his indictment he drove the wrong way down a one-way street and hit a car; one of its passengers, a little girl, was seriously injured. He had been arrested for drunken driving before and here was again found to have been intoxicated. Horn was fired from "Bandstand," moved to Houston, got a radio...
...film is opening at a sensitive moment in Japanese-U.S. relations. The recent alleged rape of a Japanese woman on Okinawa by a U.S. serviceman once again sparked an outcry against the continued presence of 47,000 U.S. troops in the country.

Over the years, a series of outrageous sex crimes have made the U.S. servicemen seem totally out of control. "How long do we have to wait...
...Okinawa, geopolitics seem abstract, but life in the shadow of the American military does produce strange anomalies. On Saturday and Sunday, following the furor over Friday's alleged rape, the Kadena base opened its gates to visitors for an "American Fest" with carnival rides, a haunted house and a menu of hotdogs, hamburgers and barbecued ribs. One of the visitors, 27-year-old Kaori Teruya, stepped inside a huge transport plane, the reports of the rape attack not far from her mind. "My girlfriends and I are always bothered by these American servicemen," Teruya said. "I am scared." The disturbing...
