NEWSPAPER COLUMNIST CLAIMS STALKED; MAY BE COVER UP FOR POSSIBLE
DRUG PROBLEM: DCPD received a At this point the call disconnects. Upon DCPD arriving at the scene, officers said that Ms. Whittier at that point was already unconscious, slumped half onto the passenger side of her vehicle. Ms.
Whittier was taken by ambulance to Georgetown University Hospital, where
she was admitted to the ICU unit in critical condition. Whittier went into further violent seizures and respiratory arrest during the night, apparently a bad reaction between the drug and an asthmatic condition for which she is regularly under a specialist's care. Whittier has remained in a coma for several days after the incident. It has not yet been determined if she has suffered brain damage. Her attorney will not comment in detail on the case, except to say he remains confident in the abilities of the staff at Georgetown and hopes his client awakens soon to testify. Both lauded and abhorred for her blunt and often abashed gossip columns, Whittier remains under guard in Georgetown's ICU at this time. Charges have not yet been made, pending further investigation. There have been no leads on the man said to have been stalking Whittier, and police will not confirm details of the case.

HAMPTON, GA. - A week after Dale Earnhardt Jr. nearly was parked for running too slow, Junior zoomed by Jeremy Mayfield with 15 laps to go and sprinted to an easy victory Sunday in the Golden Corral ("Atlanta") 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He also won the season-opening Daytona 500.
Rookie Kasey Kahne was third — his third straight finish in the top three — and Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman followed him across the finish line. Defending series champ Matt Kenseth, who had won the past two races, rallied from a lap down to finish sixth. Earnhardt, driving a Chevrolet, took the lead from the Dodge of Jeremy Mayfield on lap 265, opening up a lead of over two seconds before his final pit stop on lap 302 of the 325-lap race around the high-banked 1.54 mile Atlanta Motor Speedway oval. After his car was serviced it only took nine laps to regain the lead and he was pulling away at the checkered lag, finishing 4.854 seconds ahead of Mayfield, and Kasey Kahne, Mayfield's team mate. Jimmy Johnson finished fourth in a Chevrolet followed by pole winner Ryan Newman in another Dodge. Local

FRESNO, CA MAN CHARGED WITH NINE COUNTS OF MURDER:
By BRIAN SKOLOFF, Associated Press Writer
FRESNO, Calif. - Six coroners, triple the typical weekend staff, worked in shifts Sunday to identify the nine victims of a mass killing, believed to all be family members of a man who lived a bizarre life of polygamy and incest.
Identifying the victims and tracking down next of kin to be notified was a difficult process. "It's just very complicated," Deputy Fresno County Coroner Amy Hance said Sunday. "Who do you make notification to if eventually some of the victims are other victims' relatives?" Wesson, 57, covered with blood but described by police as "very calm," was arrested Friday when he emerged from his home, where authorities found the nine bodies tangled in a pile of clothing in a back room. Investigators said the victims were six females and three males, ranging in age from 1 to 24 and probably all Wesson's children and grandchildren. No motive had been determined, Police Chief Jerry Dyer told reporters. Police
said "We are exploring the possibility that there were other women he was involved with, either sexually or in some sort of polygamist relationship," Dyer said Saturday. He said police believe they know the cause of death but would not release that information. "I can tell you that there were no mutilations," Dyer said. "The bodies were intact."

leaving her office at The Washington Post newspaper, claiming that a white

drove a black Honda with DC plates.

Whittier's bloodstream, and one very recent needle puncture in her left

eclipse was expected, since the moon’s orbit does not bring it
directly in front of the sun for another two months, when an eclipse
is expected to occur across parts of North America. Nonetheless, the
event appeared exactly like a solar eclipse and obscured the face of
the sun as visible in Cairo, Alexandria and parts of Palestine,
Syria and Saudi Arabia. The “eclipse” lasted for just over 20
minutes, and was filmed by numerous media outlets in the region, as
well as by members of the Ashuki Corporation. Though explanations
have been offered, ranging from orbiting space debris to a close
pass by a “rogue” asteroid, experts have dismissed these
theories as “highly unlikely.”
