Former District of Columbia Mayor Marion Barry was sentenced to three years probation Thursday in connection with charges that he failed to file federal or local tax returns for 2000.

I was born to be a soldier. Not that I was particularly brave or even destined for a distinguished military career, but I think there is something inherent in most Southern boys that predisposes them to the profession of arms. I simply got a bigger dose of it than most.

In the Eye of the Storm: Riding it Out with Dan Rather by Karen Pittman 17 September 2004 No matter what those celluloid talking heads say, I rather doubt Dan Rather and CBS got snookered, as Bill O'Reilly, the biggest blubbering head of all, bloviatingly opined. I rather doubt they got had, as those babbling TV brains like to claim. Rather, I am persuaded they were at least in some measure in on the whole wretched hoax.

May 15, 2004 Marion (AP) - A biblical verse painted on Marion's new fire truck will remain there despite concerns that it promotes religion on a taxpayer-funded vehicle, the city's mayor says.

The fire truck's side contains part of the 23rd Psalm: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." Seybold said he received numerous calls, e-mails and letters from people who...

Among the elite young socialites of Wheaton College in the early 1960s, Mimi Beardsley was part of the most envied clique - the most attractive, wealthiest, brightest and most charming girls at the toney school south of Boston. That she could sign herself out on weekends with the words that she would be traveling with ``The President of the United States'' only added to her status. No one then imagined the truth, that the demure former White House intern, now known as Marion ``Mimi'' Fahnestock, was having an extended affair with President John F. Kennedy. It was a secret she...
