Doug Painter managed to crawl back to safety, but then returned to the water to help his sister. After nearly an hour in which the pair were battered by surf, he climbed out again over sharp rocks that sliced his knees, hands and feet. Naked and bleeding, he was taken by a passerby to an area hospital. But, one tragedy compounding another, Debbie had been swept out to sea. On Friday police found her body about a mile up the coast. She leaves behind a husband and an 18-month...
There was nothing open-ended or ambiguous about the 28 minutes of closing testimony from Nicole Brown Simpson's sister Denise. Last weekend, jurors lived in close quarters with dramatic memories of Denise's ragged anger. Her agitated testimony offered a tympany of accusations that struck blow after blow at the base of O.J.

The relevant fact is that...
...Honey Fitz, who eventually became mayor of Boston in 1906, was the quintessential ward politician: he joined every club, attended every wedding, wept at every wake and kept Rose, his favorite child, close by his side. Though Rose had wanted to attend Wellesley, her parents dispatched her and her sister Agnes to a convent in the Netherlands. In the beginning, she was desperately lonely, but eventually she ``was able to find in myself the place that was meant for God,'' she later said. For the rest of her life, her faith sustained her, and she attended daily Mass...
