Tortured by memories
They would just chalk up his moodiness and drinking to his years in a native residential school, like a war veteran tortured by memories of combat. "We never went to the police about him," Williams, 67, said from his home in Hazelton, B.C. "The other fellows kept telling me we should have, but I'd tell them nobody would believe us and then we'd be put in jail." .

A selection of the reactions we received from readers on our online comment board are printed at right. The comments reflect some of the enthusiasm - and caution - that residents feel on the issue of expanded gambling, which Gov. Steve Beshear has proposed to generate revenue for state programs. The discussion began after word came Northern Kentucky-based casino operator Bill Yung of Columbia Sussex Corp. had bought the property, which most recently had housed the Jillian's entertainment complex, for $7 million dollars.

Wal-Mart bloggers tell it as they see it, even if it's no good
Is it really all that and a bag of chips?" he wrote on his blog. "My life has not changed dramatically -- well, for that matter, it hasn't changed at all." His public burst of candor was not isolated. On the same blog, a video-game buyer for Wal-Mart slammed a "Star Wars" film as a "debacle" even though Wal-Mart still sells the movie. Known for its strict, by-the-books culture -- accepting a cup of coffee from a supplier can be a firing offense -- Wal-Mart is now encouraging its merchants to speak frankly, even critically, about products the chain carries. This unusual new Web site, which was quietly created during the holiday shopping season, has become a forum for unvarnished rants about gadgets, raves about new video games and advice on selecting environmentally sustainable food.
Clinton fights to get crucial wins in Texas, Ohio
Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, told Providence radio station WPRO during the day, "We can't go all the way through to the convention fighting with each other while McCain and the Republicans lob in whatever free shots they want." Whitehouse, a superdelegate who supports Clinton, added, "Let's see how Tuesday plays out, and then let's start thinking about how we're going to get behind a candidate." Slightly more than 600 delegates will remain to be picked in primaries and caucuses in 10 states after this week's primaries, beginning with Wyoming caucuses this weekend and a Mississippi primary on March 11. Pennsylvania is the biggest state remaining, with 158 delegates in a primary on April 22. The controversy over NAFTA flared after the AP reported the existence of a memo, written by a Canadian official, asserting that Obama's senior economic adviser had told him the Illinois senator's public criticism of the free trade agreement was "political positioning." The adviser, Austan Goolsbee, said his comments were misinterpreted by the memo's author, Joseph DeMora, who works for the Canadian consulate in Chicago and attended the meeting.
Madonna set to tour Down Under, adopt another child
She was, however, happy to talk about her pride at her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week. "It's 25 years of writing, producing and recording," she said. "That's a long time to do a job well, I might add. "So, yeah - it's a great sense of accomplishment." The Sunday Telegraph was given an exclusive preview of her new album - and it certainly signals a new hip-hop-driven direction for the singer. She collaborated with Justin Timberlake, Timbaland and Pharrell Williams. The first single, Four Minutes (To Save The World) hits radio this month. "I'm very anxious and nervous and hopeful that people will like it," she said. She is also releasing a feature film (Filth And Wisdom) and a documentary (I Am Because We Are), which tells the story of her adoption of son David Banda from Malawi.
Gavel-to-gavel coverage: The latest from the Rezko trial
Judge Amy St. Eve has punctuated her questioning of jurors with several so-called sidebars as she, the three-member prosecution team and Antoin "Tony" Rezko's two attorneys huddle in a corner of the courtroom poring over what look like information sheets about the jury.
One lengthy sidebar took place before the morning session began. As the judge and lawyers talked, Rezko sat quietly -- and alone -- at the defense table. Today he is wearing a smartly tailored blue-gray suit, one of several from his wardrobe that his defense team has brought to court for him to change into when brought each day from a federal jail in the Loop.
So far, 59 prospective jurors have been interviewed and another 17 are scheduled to be quizzed this afternoon and more tomorrow. Before breaking for lunch, St.
Bills report: Inside slant
Wilson said the move is being made to cultivate new fans and corporate support in North America's fifth largest city, making the Bills more viable in Buffalo and Western New York. However, he reiterated what he has said in recent years concerning the long-term fate of his team after his passing: his heirs will sell it to the highest bidder and he can't guarantee the team will remain in Buffalo. It's logical to assume one of those bidders will be Wilson's new Canadian friends, the team of Ted Rogers and Larry Tanebaum. Rogers owns the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Communications that owns the Rogers' Centre, where the Bills will play. He is Canada's third-richest man with a net worth of nearly $5 billion. Tanebaum is chairman of the board of Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment, which owns the NHL's Maple Leafs and NBA's Raptors.
