...BETSEY CUSHING ROOSEVELT WHITNEY, 89, grande dame of society; in Manhasset, N.Y. The middle child of the three glamorous Cushing sisters (the oldest married Vincent Astor, the youngest was the legendary society figure Babe Paley), she wrote the book on marrying money. The first wife of F.D.R.'s oldest son, James Roosevelt (when mother-in-law Eleanor was away, Betsey played White House hostess), she was the widow of tycoon John Hay ("Jock") Whitney...
Indeed, legal experts are hard pressed to cite examples of cases in which parents have suffered harsh penalties. Under a St. Clair Shores, Mich., ordinance, for example, a couple was fined $2,200 in 1996 after their son pleaded no contest to breaking and entering a church and drug-related charges.

Woodard?s claim also runs counter to the accusation of Doug Golden, Andrew?s grandfather -- who says Mitch was the one responsible for stealing his guns. The two families may squabble over whose child took the lead, but only the Arkansas juvenile court can untangle the truth...
...their mother's bloody 1994 murder, their father, who was acquitted in the killing, told the BBC. "Sydney has never mentioned it once, never asked about it," Simpson said in a transcript published Sunday. (The interview will be aired on the British network later this month.) "Not even my son. He has never even once mentioned it," said Simpson. The former star football player, sports commentator and actor added that he has never wanted to talk to his daughter, Sydney, 12, and son, Justin, 9, about their mother's murder. Regarding his children's silence, Simpson said the "best shrinks...
