    Now serving a 32-year sentence in the supermax prison at Florence, Colorado, Gowadia confessed in his final statement to the FBI: “What I did was espionage and treason… I shared military secrets with the PRC.” As the U.S. deployed its B-2 Spirit bombers to vaporize Iran’s underground nuclear sites in a high-stakes precision strike, a chilling echo stirred half a world away.

    PALMDALE - The latest, high-tech military aircraft - the city's biggest claim to fame - would fall under the gaze of the world if an Antelope Valley float can be prepared in time for the 2005 Rose Parade.

The 1949 float was built around a children's poem titled "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," by Eugene Field. It was built in the shape of a shoe because the...
