The Greeks let him walk...
From News 31st August 2004 | OneinFour.org:
"NEIL Horan is facing child sex abuse charges in London next month. He is due to appear at Woolwich Crown Court charged with two counts of indecency with a child under 16. Horan is currently on bail on those charges as he awaits trial on September 21 for the alleged offences.
Meanwhile, calls for Horan's Irish passport to be revoked are likely to prove fruitless. The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed yesterday that it does not have the power to revoke passports. A spokesperson said that the option of suspending or revoking someone's passport was a matter for the courts. "

Amy in the Indianapolis Star
From Best seller draws Christian fire:
"Fort Wayne's Amy Welborn is author of 'De-Coding Da Vinci: The Facts Behind the Fiction of The Da Vinci Code,' published in April by Our Sunday Visitor.
The most egregious error in the novel, according to Welborn?
'Brown asserts that early Christians didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus,' she said.
Most scholars date the Gnostic Gospels from the middle second century A.D. or later, which is several generations after the canonical Gospels.
If the canonical Gospels contain historical details from the life and times of Jesus, and the Gnostic Gospels don't, and if the canonical Gospels appear to have been written earlier, then the canonical Gospels must be the authentic ones, or so the reasoning goes."

A Persistent Rumor--Cheney Out?
McCain would be a popular choice.
From CBS News | Dan Rather's Convention Journal | August 29, 2004?09:32:44:
"Not much of it, really. Only a few people besides workmen inside the hall. Among the few who were there, the most popular topic of conversation was whether President Bush might surprise and announce during the convention that Vice President Cheney would not be running with him this year.
This rumor has swirled around a bit from time to time throughout the year, the chatter being that Mr. Bush would prefer to run with Sen. John McCain "
