In Secret 1996 Tape,

Doomed Woman

Pleads With Her Killer

February 28, 2007

The New York Times

By RICHARD G. JONES

TOMS RIVER, N.J., Feb. 27 — A cluster of stereo speakers was arrayed in front of a jury box. A switch was flipped. And within moments, the courtroom here filled with the sounds of the futile, decade-old pleas from a doomed woman to the teenager who would soon take her life.

“I can tie you up and put you out there,” said a man’s voice recorded on a microcassette in 1996 and played publicly for the first time in State Superior Court here Tuesday.

“No, because you’ll kill me,” replied Kathleen Stanfield Weinstein, a 45-year-old special education teacher from the Jersey Shore who had just been kidnapped in a carjacking. “You’ve got a gun. How do I know that you’re not going to kill me?”

“Because,” the male voice said, “I’ll promise you.”

The tape, a remarkable 46-minute conversation between Mrs. Weinstein and her killer, was played here at the trial of Michael T. LaSane, 27, who prosecutors say is the voice on the tape.

Bush advance

staff impersonated reporters: W Post

Sat Mar 18, 2006
4:11 PM ET
Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said it would discipline two government employees who impersonated journalists in advance of a trip by U.S. President George W. Bush to the Gulf Coast, The Washington Post said on Saturday.

The Post quoted a Gautier, Mississippi couple whose home was wrecked by Hurricane Katrina as saying two men identified themselves as journalists during a visit to the couple's home.

Elaine Akins told the newspaper she and her husband Jerry were initially told by the two men that they were Fox News journalists, but that they later identified themselves as Secret Service agents.

Bush visited Gautier on March 8.

"They just came up and said they were with the media, and then they said they were with Fox," Akins was quoted as saying.

"They just talked to us and asked us about rebuilding our house. Then, after everything was over with, they approached us and they were laughing, and they said: 'You know, we really weren't with Fox. We're government, Secret Service men,'" she said.

White House spokesman Ken Lisaius was quoted as saying, "This incident has been brought to our attention, and this is clearly not appropriate, nor is it part of our standard operating procedures. The individuals will be verbally reprimanded."

A Secret Service spokesman told the newspaper the people involved were not Secret Service officials.

Asked to identify where they worked, White House spokeswoman Jeanie Mamo said she would not go beyond the statement Lisaius gave to the Post.

Energy policy

'back with a vengeance'

says PM

29 November 2005
10 Downing Street

A wide-ranging review of how Britain powers itself has been announced by Tony Blair.

He said with energy supplies under threat all options needed to be looked at - including nuclear power stations.

Before the PM's speech anti-nuclear protestors scaled the roof of the conference hall.

After a short delay and a change of venue, he told business leaders at the CBI conference that energy policy was 'back on the agenda with a vengeance'.

He said: "Round the world you can sense feverish re-thinking. Energy prices have risen. Energy supply is under threat. Climate change is producing a sense of urgency.

"By around 2020 the UK is likely to have seen decommissioning of coal and nuclear plants that together generate over 30 per cent of today's electricity supply."

And he added that 'some of this will be replaced by renewables, but not all of it can'.

Lord Winston

in tirade on drink laws

Top doctors say relaxing the licensing laws will result
in more alcohol-related deaths, particularly among females

Martin Bentham and Ned Temko
Sunday September 4, 2005
The Observer

Leading figures of Britain's medical establishment increased the pressure on the government to rethink its controversial plans to extend licensing laws this weekend by saying the plans could lead to higher levels of alcohol abuse.

Labour peer Lord Robert Winston and Professor Roger Williams, one of the country's leading liver-disease consultants, said the government was failing to recognise a growing national scourge of alcohol abuse. Williams, who carried out the first liver transplant in 1968 and has treated thousands of patients, said the decision to allow pubs to open for longer hours was 'hideous' and would inevitably lead to more alcohol related deaths.

Winston said the new licensing law should have undergone trials to gauge its possible effect on drinking. 'The evidence is that alcohol is the biggest medical problem we face - probably bigger than smoking,' he said. 'And it certainly has a lot more dangerous effects than cannabis. Under those circumstances, it seems to me ludicrous to be so restrictive of one drug and not the other.'

John Birt's MacTaggart Lecture 2005

Friday August 26, 2005

When Dawn unexpectedly invited me to give this 30th Anniversary lecture my immediate instinct quite honestly was to refuse - despite her formidable back-you-up-against-the-wall-you-can't-say-no-to-me powers of persuasion. My head is somewhere else now, I thought. Anyway, when the Bishop retires he should leave the Diocese. My presence will simply inflame old hostilities. But I forced myself to take a day or two to reflect. And I changed my mind.

Truth to tell, I devoted the bulk of my life to this industry. I care about it deeply and passionately. And I stand before you tonight - one of the few MacTaggart lecturers ever to be eligible for a free bus pass - because I finally realised I really did want to talk to you - the people who drive and power this great industry - about a subject that increasingly sets me alight - the looming, intensifying threat to the UK's extraordinarily successful tradition of public service broadcasting. This will be my subject tonight. The health warning is that I speak purely in a personal capacity.

As a Judge Is Censured,

a Friend Is Arraigned

in a Bronx Fracas

August 26, 2005
NYT

A State Supreme Court justice in Manhattan has been censured by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct for inappropriate behavior after an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her drunken-driving arrest in July 2002.

Though cleared of all criminal charges, the justice, Donna M. Mills, admitted to the commission that she should not have driven her 1979 Rolls-Royce after drinking as much alcohol as she had. She also told the commission that her accusations that the arresting officers had singled her out because she is black had been offensive.

Censure is the second most serious form of public discipline a judge can receive, one step short of removal from office, according to the commission's administrator, Robert H. Tembeckjian. Justice Mills has 30 days to appeal the decision.

The unanimous decision by the commission, which was reached on Aug. 17 and announced yesterday, comes at a difficult time for Justice Mills, 52, who was already the subject of public attention this week in an unrelated court matter.

Funeral of murdered black teenager

No one could call the soaring gothic spaces of Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral intimate; not the ideal place, you would think, for personal grief.

But yesterday a young man stood before the high altar and touched 2,000 mourners as he spoke simply of 18-year-old Anthony Delano Walker, killed with an axe near his home in Huyton, Merseyside, last month.

William Eborall, who met Anthony at primary school, is white; Anthony was black. Anthony's picture was projected on a screen in the nave; another rested on the coffin. Reading from the letter he wrote to Anthony's mother, Mr Eborall, his voice occasionally faltering, spoke of how Anthony had befriended him at nursery school and insisted that he join in football games.

"I always felt honoured that he chose me as a friend because Anthony was so popular with everyone. Nobody had a bad word for him. Yet he chose to be friends with me, the geek of the year."

They spent their first detention together, telling jokes, and they last met a year ago. "Anthony felt like a big brother to me ... He stood back from me, looked me up and down and told me how proud he was of me, and told me I'd grown up ... Anthony was one of those special people who graces your life and I'll feel lucky for ever, knowing that I have met him."

Judges to be told

to act on deportations

Government risks clash on human rights

The lord chancellor, Lord Falconer, is planning to push through legislation that would for the first time tell judges how to interpret the Human Rights Act should they block the government's tough new deportation policy.

The legislation would force judges to give equal weight in their assessment of cases to the interests of state security as to the rights of the individual deportee. Such a move could put ministers on a collision course with the UK courts which in recent months have clashed with the government in their role as protector of civil liberties.

The first 10 foreign nationals to face deportation on the grounds of national security under the government's new anti-terrorism stance were yesterday rounded up in raids across Britain. Nine, nearly all former Belmarsh terror detainees, face being sent back to Algeria — a country with one of the poorest human rights records in north Africa.

The 10th was the radical preacher described as al-Qaida's "ambassador in Europe", Abu Qatada. He faces being deported to his native Jordan, which this week signed a "no death penalty, no torture" agreement with the UK.

Strikes end

but airport misery

will last for days

BRITISH AIRWAYS resumed a limited service from Heathrow last night after workers ended their unofficial strikes but the airline gave warning that flights will remain disrupted for several days.

BA is preparing for further cancellations if talks break down between its catering supplier, Gate Gourmet, and the Transport and General Workers Union over the dismissal of 600 staff.

(...)

BA’s aircraft are more than 80 per cent full this month, its busiest of the year. It will take several days to find all passengers places on other flights.

More than 100,000 passengers have had flights cancelled in the past two days. The airline paid for 4,000 passengers to stay in hotels on Thursday but 800 had to sleep in the terminals. It was expecting to put up several thousand more in hotels last night and erected a marquee for passengers at the airport.

Blair accused of 'gross deception'

as Goldsmith's advice is published

The Attorney General's doubts about the legality of the Iraq war were finally laid bare after his secret advice to the Prime Minister was leaked.

The publication of Lord Goldsmith's report last night could prove to be the "smoking gun" that shows Tony Blair misled Parliament and the country over the war.

Last night, Mr Blair - unaware that the report was about to be leaked - was caught out still claiming on Sky News that the advice from the Attorney General "didn't change".

Professor Peter Hennessy, an expert on constitutional affairs, said: "The whole thing reeks." Dominic Grieve, the Tory legal affairs spokesman said: "There has been a gross deception."

Families of some of the British soldiers killed in Iraq said they were preparing a legal case against the Prime Minister, based on the leaked document.

The news that Edda Tasiemka is planning to retire and sell her cuttings library had many journalists, including me, sobbing into our laptops. How could any of us survive without Edda and her cuttings? Whizzy management types are fond of telling us that nowadays you can find everything on the internet, but actually it is rare to find any newspaper stories over five years old or any magazine articles at all, whereas one quick phone call to an elderly German widow in the suburbs can provide precisely what you need. Almost every profile writer and biographer I know uses Tasiemka, and everyone who uses her raves about her. Nicholas Coleridge is such a devotee that he put her in one of his novels. Robert Lacey said he could never have written Majesty without her and added wistfully: 'She's a real dish, isn't she? I wish I was an older man!'

(...)

So Mrs Tasiemka is not exactly your average librarian. Nor does her house look remotely like a library. It is a conventional 1920s semi-detached in north London, with a white Sandtex exterior, a short drive up to the side garage and a lawn surrounded by bedding plants. The drawing-room gives the same impression of old-fashioned gemütlich comfort - button-back armchairs, Regency cabinets and highly polished tables covered with knick-knacks.

However, if you look carefully there are already signs that this is not quite a conventional house - the Stop the War placard in the hall for instance (Mrs Tasiemka went on both the prewar marches) or the two lifesize model sheep in the corner.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A man on trial for rape grabbed a deputy's gun and opened fire inside an Atlanta courthouse on Friday, killing a judge and two other people before escaping and triggering a manhunt across several southeastern states.

Superior Court Judge Rowland Barnes and a court reporter died from gunshot wounds in the 9 a.m. shooting at Fulton County Courthouse, said Georgia Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor.

A Fulton County deputy sheriff also was killed and another wounded, police said. The deputy who lost her gun was in critical condition but expected to survive, said a doctor at Grady Hospital.

The suspect, identified by police as Brian Nichols, 33, gunned down a second deputy outside the building and then carjacked at least one vehicle. He also pistol-whipped a journalist during his escape, police and witnesses said.

Sun [ is ] censured for tricking Collymore

The Press Complaints Commission has condemned the Sun newspaper

for faking and publishing a front-page confession

by footballer Stan Collymore in which he apparently admitted he was a liar.

It has said the tabloid newspaper, edited by Rebekah Wade, committed a "serious" breach of its code when it failed to make it explicit that Mr Collymore had not signed any confession and the article was a piece of fiction.

The story appeared in November and claimed the former England footballer had admitted he was a "lying scumbag" and included a printed confession to "all Sun readers" apparently signed by the star.

But it was only in the fifth paragraph of the story that the paper revealed that Collymore was tricked into signing the confession at a book signing.

The story, which was published on November 3, appeared in the Sun at the same time that the footballer's autobiography was being serialised in the Daily Mirror.

FALLUJA, Iraq, Tuesday, Nov. 9 - Thousands of American marines and soldiers swarmed over a railroad embankment on the northern edge of Falluja on Monday night and early Tuesday, setting off a wild firefight and making their first advances across the deadly streets and twisting alleyways of this rebel-held city.

The move, following weeks of bombings by American airplanes, marked the beginning of the main assault on Falluja, expected to be the most significant battle since the fall of Baghdad 19 months ago.

Most of the 6,500 American troops and 2,000 Iraqi soldiers went over the embankment at six separate points, military officials said, aiming to clear out insurgents one house at a time and eventually take several large public buildings in the heart of the city.

Consumer Sentiment Fades in October

Fri Oct 29, 2004 10:07 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated in October as rising energy costs and persistent job worries made Americans less optimistic about the future, according to a survey released on Friday.

The University of Michigan's said its consumer confidence index dropped to 91.7 in October, down from 94.2 in September but higher than a mid-month reading of 87.5, according to market sources who saw the subscription-only report.

Tony Blair will today make the provocative claim that Labour's new five-year crime plan heralds "the end of the 1960s liberal consensus on law and order" by putting the values of the law-abiding majority at the centre of the criminal justice system.

In tandem with the home secretary, David Blunkett, who has also attacked "Hampstead liberals" in the past, the prime minister will seek to refocus public attention on a key feature of the domestic agenda which is of growing concern to Labour voters.

Microsoft: critical alert

Microsoft warned customers yesterday about unusually serious security problems with its Windows software that could let hackers quietly break into their computers to steal files, delete data or eavesdrop on sensitive information.

The company, which learned about the flaws more than six months ago from researchers, said the only protective solution was to apply a repairing patch it offered on its website. It assessed the threat as "critical", its highest rating.

The cool con

Six years ago a new Labour government swept to power, London was declared the coolest place on the planet, art, pop, nightlife and politics seemed dazzling, young, and full of hope. Then what?

I was about five when I met my first tyrant. His name was Hendrik Verwoerd. We lived close to each other in one of those green Johannesburg suburbs that named its streets after Irish counties: Kerry, Wexford, Donegal. So much in South Africa conspired to remind one of somewhere else. I sometimes think it helped people to forget that, for half a century, we had been locked up in an institution for the mentally disabled. My Irish grandfather used to say to me: "Christopher, shall we be taking a walk and stare at the Doctor?" I didn't know Verwoerd was a tyrant then, and I'm sure he didn't know either; it's a role you have to grow into. My mother said, "That man spent the war knitting socks for Mr Hitler." The year I'm talking about was 1948: that was my year for staring hard.

JAMES EARL RAY pleaded guilty in Memphis, Tennessee, today,

to the murder of Dr Martin Luther King

and was sentenced to 99 years’ imprisonment.

But in a statement to the court,

which did not affect his plea,

he indicated that there had been

a conspiracy to kill the civil rights leader

and that he did not agree with his own counsel on this question.

Mr Ray will not be eligible for parole for at least 33 years,

by which time he will be 74 — today was his forty-first birthday.

By pleading guilty he has waived all rights of appeal.

Mr Percy Foreman, his counsel,

said that the plea was intended to save Mr Ray’s life.

Mr Foreman told the court

that he had taken months to prove to himself

that the murder of Dr King was not a conspiracy

 All he had ever hoped to do was “to save this man’s life”.

The Times > On This Day - March 11, 1969,
James Earl Ray was convicted
of the murder of the civil rights leader Martin Luther King
after pleading guilty to his assassination,
