...other males - including Gonzalez's father, an Air Force sergeant and a 16-year-old - have also been charged with capital murder as well as home invasion and, like Gonzalez, have pleaded not guilty. (The teen has been charged as an adult but will not face the death penalty.) An eighth defendant, a woman charged as an accessory to the murder for allegedly providing a van used in the crime, has also pleaded not guilty. But investigators say Gonzalez's accomplices have fingered him as the sole gunman - and add that while they'd been lured by his promise...
...home of Ike Eisenhower was fighting back," Phillip Cosby, a retired Army master sergeant who led the Kansas antiporn brigade, recalls proudly. Then in 2006, the state legislature enacted a law to limit the size of billboards to 40 sq. ft. Only an establishment's name, location, phone number and operating hours could be on the sign. Stores had until July 1 of this year to comply. But days before the deadline, a federal judge in Topeka blocked the law from taking effect until she could consider a challenge brought by Lion's Den.

After testing positive for cocaine, in the summer of 2008 Army Private John Suarez worked 35 15-hour days digging foxholes under a sweltering sun in full battle gear, his discomfort augmented by body armor and a Kevlar helmet.

There was Vernon Jordan, noting that the event "tells us that the election of Barack Obama did not automatically erase racism." There was former Congressman Harold Ford, moderate to a fault, passionately insisting that once Sergeant James Crowley realized Gates had not broken into his own home, the officer should have said, "I'm sorry you're upset, sir. We're going to leave." And then, of course, there was the President of the United States, asserting that the Cambridge, Mass., police acted "stupidly." (See pictures...
...grab a beer." That was the invitation extended by President Obama, who is seeking to dial down the racial tension surrounding black Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s July 16 arrest by a white police officer. On July 30, Gates and the arresting officer, Sergeant James Crowley, will meet with Obama at the White House to have a beer and discuss the maybe-racist-maybe-not incident in which the three men find themselves entangled. Anticipatory news reports of the drinking session have included a seemingly bizarre fact: the White House only serves domestic, or American-made, beer...
