PORTLAND, Maine — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences.

George Bush's plan to ban same-sex marriages has pushed his vice-president's openly lesbian daughter, Mary Cheney, into an unwanted spotlight. Ms Cheney is being urged by gay activists to speak out against a constitutional amendment to outlaw such unions which the President yesterday backed as a way of protecting marriage. They have set up a website, DearMary.com, calling on their supporters to write to her about the issue. It displays Ms Cheney's photograph on the back of a milk carton, mimicking a missing person advertisement, asking: "Have you seen me?" The site points out that Ms Cheney has remained silent...

AIDS IN AFRICAIn Search of the Truth By Rian Malan Rolling Stone 22 Nov. 2001 Dear Jann,You will be saddened to hear that Adelaide Ntsele has died. As you may recall, she featured briefly in my article a year ago about the long, twisted history of the song, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," which was based on a melody composed by her father, Solomon Linda.
