Supreme Court splits on Ten Commandments rulings
The Supreme Court, in two 5-4 decisions, allows outdoor Ten Commandments displays on Texas Capitol grounds as a government tribute but bans framed displays in two Kentucky courthouses. The rulings affirm a case by case approach to courthouse displays and stress neutral presentation to avoid government endorsement of religion. Justice O'Connor swung the decisions, with a dissent by Justice Scalia criticizing the ruling.

Doctors amputate leg after shark attack off Florida coast
In Florida's Panhandle a 16-year-old boy from Lebanon, Tennessee, had his right leg amputated after a shark attack while fishing at Cape San Blas. He remained in critical condition but was expected to recover as nearby beaches stayed closed and patrols increased. A separate incident 80 miles away left a 14-year-old girl dead after a shark attack near Gonzales, Louisiana.
