...DIED. ESTELLE AXTON, 85, bank teller who mortgaged her home to fund, with her brother, the 1961 creation of the classic soul label Stax Records; in Memphis. Stax, which took its name from the first letters of Axton's and her brother Jim Stewart's last names, had hits with songs like Booker T. and the MGs' Green Onions, Otis Redding's (Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay, and Sam and Dave's Soul...

A good and mild man in a mad and wild world, Jesus has fought a championship boxing match with Satan (episode 108), attempted to calm Millennium jitters at a Las Vegas concert with Rod Stewart (episode 316), and battled evil cult-magician David Blaine with the help of his Super Best Friends Buddha, Moses, Mohammed, Krishna, Lao Tse and the Mormons' Joseph Smith...
During the third week of stinging testimony by government witnesses, the Martha Stewart case reached a dramatic high point with the emotional testimony of her longtime secretary, Ann Armstrong.

The judge, meanwhile, is giving the prosecution little leeway to prove Stewart committed securities fraud by misleading...
...CASES GOING ON NOW. DO FAMOUS PEOPLE GET SINGLED OUT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT? You have to look at each case. I don't think Robert Blake was singled out. He has a unique case, and he claims he's innocent. We'll have to see. But I think Martha Stewart has been singled out for prosecution. They really dug pretty deep to bring charges against her, and I'd be surprised if she wasn't acquitted...
