Virgin Mary image draws crowds in Clearwater
Crowds flock to view a rainbow-hued image on a glass office building in Clearwater drawing 450,000 to 41 percent of the city’s population over three weeks. A city report cites a $40,000 police and traffic control tab as worshippers light votive candies and at least one fire incident injured a police officer. Believers call it a miracle, while skeptics suggest a residue or discoloration may be responsible.

Plaintiffs in OJ trial may win only justice
Fred Goldman says the aim is justice not money in the civil case against OJ Simpson. Estimates place Simpson at 3.5 to 6 million dollars, with over a million in litigation costs and creditors including the IRS, risking little to no payout even if plaintiffs win. The panel could hear the case late this month with punitive damages possible and book value examined in a post verdict process.
