Kennedy rules out Senate bid amid family caretaking
Representative Patrick Kennedy says he will not seek Rhode Island's Senate seat in 2006, choosing to remain in the House and on the Appropriations Committee while his mother Joan Kennedy receives treatment after a hospital stay. The decision comes as Kennedy and siblings pursue guardianship to ensure continued care. In Belgium, EU governments back Paul Wolfowitz for World Bank president, promising multilateralism and poverty focus as talks with ministers conclude. In Iraq, Al Jazeera aired a tape claiming to show three Romanian journalists kidnapped by militants, with an American translator possibly among hostages. U.S. officials cautioned that verification was incomplete.

Supreme Court expands age bias lawsuits for workers 40 plus
In a 25 to 3 ruling Justice Stevens writes for the majority that federal law allows people aged 40 and over to sue over pay and hiring bias even without proof of intent to harm. The decision broadens protection for roughly 75 million older workers while employers may still defend policies with cost based or other justification. Justice O Connor dissents with others on the scope of disparate impact claims, arguing Congress did not intend such suits. the ruling follows a Jackson Mississippi case involving older police officers challenging a younger policy.
