Columbus May Have Been Norwegian Says Author
Oslo based writer Tor Busch Sannes argues Christopher Columbus could be a Norwegian nobleman named Christopher Bonde who discovered America in 1477 not 1492. He cites coincidences and historical notes suggesting early voyages north of Iceland may have reached Canada or New England. America’s 500th anniversary of discovery would be celebrated 15 years late, he says.

Vintage Books released the Bret Easton Ellis novel in paperback after Simon & Schuster dropped it. In Seattle, George Waterfield Russell, 32, pleads innocent to multiple murders, denying serial-killer ties and citing circumstantial evidence.
