Sunken B-25 to surface at Lake Greenwood
A Naval Reserve unit plans to raise a B-25 bomber that plunged into Lake Greenwood on D-Day 1944 after the crew spotted sunbathers. The plane, largely intact with some damage, will be lifted Friday once air-filled drums under a barge lift the 12.5 ton aircraft, then moved to Greenwood airport for restoration and museum display.

Calling Card Fraud Sparks Massive Phone Bills to Iran
In February Bill Soucie faced an $886 bill that ballooned to $23,000 in March and $61,000 in April. The Belmont bank executive destroyed his Pacific Telephone Calling Card after learning his ID had been stolen and misused. Ninety percent of calls were to Iran, with 168 pages and $3.75 postage for the April bill. The case follows a broader debate on Israel settlements as the United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution.
