...Testimony from Wyler and another former FLDS member, Richard Holm, coupled with birth certificates, swayed a Mohave County jury on July 7 to find Fischer guilty of sexual conduct with a minor and conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor. Wyler and Holm testified in court on how polygamous marriages work and gave eyewitness accounts of Fischer and the girl's "flirtatious behavior." But the verdict was unusual - and, to critics of the alleged abuses in polygamous marriages, especially significant - in that it came without the testimony of the alleged victims. In the FLDS community that populates the twin...

He should have run. Instead, Grofield winds up in this first-rate hard-boiled mystery by Richard Stark (also known to aficionados of the genre by his real name, Donald E. Westlake), which reads like Raymond Chandler with a dark literary whisper...
...told you it wasn't over until she sang. After London's Royal Opera House fired soprano DEBORAH VOIGT for being too portly for her signature role, Ariadne, in Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos in 2004, opera fans feared that the last refuge of the plus-size artist was gone. Two years later, Voigt has had gastric-bypass surgery and lost 135 lbs. (the equivalent, roughly, of one Mariah Carey) and the Royal Opera has rehired her for the 2007-08 season. Maybe the Royal Ballet will hire her next...
