| Client list may spell out more than 'john' 11:49 AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A note to S.B., B.C. and G.C.: You may have good reason to be worried. Those are the initials authorities used to identify three clients of a high-priced prostitution ring that police say operated out of the SouthPark area and raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. An FBI informant who says she worked as a call girl for the ring told a TV station that her customers included doctors, lawyers, athletes and CEOs. Investigators spotted "S.B." leaving a Charlotte hotel room, according to documents filed Nov. 1 in federal court. "B.C." paid $10,000 for a woman to spend a weekend with him in Chicago. And "G.C." settled up with a company check. Federal authorities won't say whether they'll go after any customers.
Iran demands end to U.N. nuclear charge
TEHRAN, Iran // Iran's top leader demanded an end to U.N. Security Council oversight of the country's nuclear program during a meeting yesterday with the chief of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, state-run television reported. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters in Iran, told International Atomic Energy Agency head Mohamed ElBaradei that the IAEA should exclusively handle Iranian nuclear questions - not the Security Council. Iran is under two sets of Security Council sanctions for its refusal to freeze uranium enrichment, a potential pathway to nuclear arms, and Washington is pushing for additional U.N. penalties. .
An epic of survival: WWII POW Don Fogle
MOUNT VERNON — Ten years ago, Delores Fogle was crossing the bridge over the Moselle River near the Gothic cathedral in Pont-a-Mousson, France, when she suddenly saw the metal plaque affixed to the bridge. The plaque memorialized the destruction of the bridge in September 1944, as the Nazis tried to block the Allied push through France. At that moment, she realized she was standing where her late husband, Don, had been taken prisoner during that battle, the beginning of a half-year struggle for survival which affected him the rest of his life. In the wake of the highly acclaimed Ken Burns World War II documentary, "The War," and as the community moves from Veterans Day toward Thanksgiving, it is fitting to tell the story of an American soldier who endured trials unfathomable to most Americans, in the name of fighting for his country.

Cracked On the job, he covered the District's crack cocaine epidemic ...
I should've turned and walked away when Carrie didn't answer the door. But I was on a mission, and my judgment at the time was less than sound. Carrie was a lithe, blond Arkansan with a sweet demeanor and prom-queen looks. Instead of her, I was greeted by a large man wearing a dirty white T-shirt and bluejeans. He had a wild, uncombed Afro. "What you want?" His eyes were bloodshot. His expression was suspicious. He was north of 6 feet tall and well over 200 pounds. I checked the number on the door. The building was on Ninth Street NW, in the Shaw neighborhood. Carrie had said she'd be in unit No. 32 -- the same number I was looking at. "Maybe I've got the wrong place," I recall replying. "I'm looking for Carrie." The man's expression softened.
