The Justice Department FBI and Internal Revenue Service have stepped up their probe into Senator Tom Dodd with a focus on possible income tax violations. Walter Kenny, Dodd's attorney, now works full time for the Senate, prompting ethics concerns as Kenny pressed witnesses and sought derogatory information about the senator’s accusers. The investigation also explores Dodd’s financing and legal expenses, with reports that a top New York law firm billed the Senate for defense.

New Orleans relies on the Vieux Carre for up to 150 million in tourism. Mobile hopes half a million visitors as revitalization plans unfold, while St. Louis shows losses as old structures vanish.

A 25-year-old Springfield Oregon resident was swept from shore while surf fishing beneath a 300-foot cliff. He fought waves for an hour, limped ashore shoeless with torn hands and feet, and was hoisted to safety by rescuers after a 21-hour ordeal. He was hospitalized to recover while authorities note hopeful perseverance amid crises. The report blends survivor tale with religious reflection and assorted unrelated lines.
