Feds: Fireproofing on WTC steel wasn't tested
Federal investigators say fireproofing on World Trade Center steel floor supports was never tested and may have been too thin to withstand a two hour fire.

Black leaders push removal of Jefferson Davis statue in Kentucky Capitol
Black leaders call for removal of Confederate President Jefferson Davis’s statue from the Kentucky Capitol Rotunda, arguing the state’s neutrality in the Civil War clashes with honoring him. They note the statue’s 1926 dedication funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy and a 5,000 Legislature appropriation. The statue’s location near Abraham Lincoln and the Capitol’s National Historic Place status complicate action.
