Atlantic storm Allison spawns tornados and floods Texas
United Press International reports Allison, the Atlantic season’s first tropical storm, weakened after two tornadoes and heavy rainfall in southeast Texas. A girl drowned in Houston floodwaters near an open manhole, as roads and rail corridors remained submerged and a 14-foot overpass was overtopped. Storm bands spread into Missouri and Illinois, with Kansas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota also affected by heavy rains and wind.

Opponents condemn the Supreme Court decision allowing execution of 16 and 17 year olds and the mentally retarded in murder cases. Amnesty International argues the ruling violates the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, noting 84 countries have abolished such executions.
