There was an HBO special about Audrey Mestre who drowned while free diving.  She was stuck at the bottom when the bag wouldn't inflate, i think her husband was to blame for it too.  Probably was upset that she was going to beat him, so kill her in front of everyone and claim it an accident.  the HBO special does mention this so I am not making this up if I sound disrespectful or anything.  It is a shame, she was very sexy in that wetsuit too.

Yes, that is the current rumor.  I checked it today on the Web.  I think that if it is true, that she should be checked out by a professional.  It is like she is try to copy that despicable Angelina Jolie, but she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and I doubt she will be that inclined to like that, once she gets there without all of her stately conveniences in Holly wood.  :)  She had better stick to what she can here and not venture out b/c her husband and she herself would not be smart enough to handle it over there and the inhabitants may not be so welcoming.

Private Investigator, Nat Marley, ran across his old friend, Annie, who had become homeless.  When Annie fainted from a heart condition, Marley applied first aid until the ambulance arrived to transport her to the hospital.  \nThe woman decided it was necessary to make out her willand asked Marley to find her son, Jackie.  \nBecause of his kindness to Annie, Nat was approached by a rich widow named Joanna Whittaker.  Mrs. Whittaker told Nat he resembled her late husband and she wanted to give him all her properties.  Mrs. Whittakers maid, Martha, overheard this offer.  She had been convinced all the properties would become hers when Mrs. Whittaker died and now realized that was not to be. In her rage, she killed Mrs. Whittaker, stole what money she could get her hands on and fled to Las Vegas where she lost it all gambling.\n[very rough, but I think it gives you an idea of the proper voice and procedures]

For all the self righteous folks above me and especially for "medusaswrath".  Before you condemn the United States to hell for doing what it though best to protect YOU and other citizens, you might want to consider this.\n\nWhen the Japanese were placed into the internment camps they did receive one benefit.  They were safe from a mob mentality that sought out any and all people of Asian descent.  You understand, they all look alike.  The potential for the streets to run red with Asian blood was very real.  After all, Japan and hence Japanese were the enemy.\n\nNow before your little gasket blows, be assured I don’t necessarily feel the actions taken by the Government were right.  At the same time I wasn't there and I think we can all agree that we know more today than they did on Dec. 8, 1941.  Also I have seen two of the camps mentioned.  It was a very bad life for the people held there.  Housing too small to hold one death row inmate would have an entire family living in it.\n\nIf you really want to get indignant about something, try this.  On the morning of Dec. 7, 1941 aircraft from the Imperial Japanese Fleet attacked the American Fleet while they rested at anchor in the waters of Pearle Harbor, Hawaii.  That is a well documented fact.  So why did President Roosevelt ask for a declaration of war the next day against Germany as well as Japan?\n\nThese things are complicated and best handled by people with the most information available to them.  It is wrong to judge a President months, years or decades after the fact.  When the day comes that you have to make a life and death decision, you have to make it in minutes or even seconds, and it turns out to be less than a perfect call when evaluated 50 years later, I really hope I can be around to beat you up for trying to safe my life.\n\nI do believe you hit a nerve.  Thanks I needed to wake up.

Her name was "Axis Sally". Her real name was Mildred Gillars, and was the wife of (no kidding) Lord Haw Ha.\nShe was of course one of the German 3rd. Reich's radio propagandists.\n\nIf you want more information, go to "Google", and type in "Axis Sally", and you will find a lot of sites for her.\nGood luck...\nAs Fox Muldur of the old "X-Files" put it, "The Truth is Out There."

The only person truly above the law is Steven Seagal. Jodie Foster may be able to get away with some crimes, but only if she provides sexual favors to a certain member of the Supreme Court. I have heard that Clarence Thomas has a HUGE crush on her, but I don't think she will go for Justice Thomas. So she would probably go to jail if she committed a crime, most likely the one Martha Stewart visited. It is rumored that Rory Emerald has immunity as he is actually a former CIA spy. He has full knowledge of who killed John F. Kennedy and if he is ever prosecuted in the U.S., he will publish a novel naming the members of the conspiracy. In addition to this, Mr. Emerald has a phobia of being anally raped after watching one-too-many episodes of Oz.

Mrs Beasley actually was first seen in the 1960s Television Show “Family Affair”.\n\nI do believe that one of the girls on 'The Facts of Life' had one in the beginning so you were kinda right.

That was Irgrid Bergman in Casablanca.\n\n"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is mesmerizing and remarkable. I have vague memories of 'Sabrina' and 'Funny Face', but I do remember very much enjoying her in 'My Fair Lady'. She is just so lovable and easy to identify with in spite of her beauty.

There is no doubt that the interment of Japanese during World War II is not a stellar event in the rights of individuals.  It should be kept in mind that such government instigated intrusive acts had happened here many times in prior years.  \n\nIt should also be understood that this happened over a period of time (mostly during War Time) and was not supported by all Americans.  A short summary of events, as they occurred, might help to understand how this all came about.\n\n1939\nLists of "dangerous" enemy aliens and citizens began to be compiled in various government departments, such as the FBI, special intelligence agencies of the Justice Department, the Office of Naval Intelligence, and the army's Military Intelligence Division.8 \n1940\nThe census found 126,947 Japanese Americans; 62.7% were citizens by birth. In addition, 157,905 were in the Territory of Hawaii, and 263 in the Territory of Alaska.2 \nSummer, 1941\nThe Hawaiian National Guard (made up largely of Nisei) was federalized and later became the 100th Infantry Battalion and 442nd Regimental Combat Team.1 \nNovember 1, 1941\nThe Japanese Language School at the Presidio of San Francisco was formed. In the first class were 45 Nisei and Kibei and 15 others. It was moved to Camp Savage, Minnesota, renamed the Military Intelligence Service Language School (MISLS) and later moved to Fort Snelling, Minnesota.1 \nNovember 7, 1941\nCurtis Munson issued his report on the Japanese Americans living on the coast.12 \nNovember 26, 1941\nGrace Tully (Roosevelt's secretary) told Henry Field (anthropologist and aide to Roosevelt) that the President was ordering him to produce, in the shortest time possible, the full names and addresses of each American-born and foreign-born Japanese listed by locality within each state. She told him to use the 1930 and 1940 census.13 \nDecember 7, 1941\nJapan bombed Pearl Harbor.\nA blanket presidential warrant authorized U.S. Attorney General Francis Biddle to have the FBI arrest a predetermined number of "dangerous enemy aliens," including German, Italian, and Japanese nationals. 737 Japanese Americans arrested by the end of the day.2 \n\nDecember 8, 1941\nU.S. entered World War II. \nDecember 11, 1941\nFBI detained 1370 Japanese Americans classified as "dangerous enemy aliens."2 \nDecember 22, 1941\nThe Agriculture Committee of the L.A. Chamber of Commerce recommended that all Japanese nationals be put under "absolute Federal control."2 \nDecember 29, 1941\nAll enemy aliens in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, and Nevada were ordered to surrender contraband.2 \nJanuary 5, 1942\nJapanese American selective service registrants classified as enemy aliens (IV-C). Many Japanese American soldiers discharged or assigned to menial labor such as "kitchen police."2 \nJanuary 6, 1942\n"I do not believe that we could be any too strict in our consideration of the Japanese in the face of the treacherous way in which they do things," wrote Leland Ford, L.A. Congressman, in a telegram to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, asking that all Japanese Americans be removed from the West Coast.2 \nJanuary 28, 1942\nThe California State Personnel Board voted to bar all "descendants of natives with whom the United States [is] at war" from all civil service positions. This was only enforced against Japanese Americans.2\nJanuary 29, 1942\nAttorney General Francis Biddle began the establishment of prohibited zones forbidden to all enemy aliens. German, Italian, and Japanese aliens were ordered to leave San Francisco waterfront areas.2 \nJanuary 30, 1942\n"Unless something is done it may bring about a repetition of Pearl Harbor," said Earl Warren, California Attorney General, calling Japanese Californians the "Achilles heel of the entire civilian defense effort."2 \nFebruary 4, 1942\nThe U.S. Army established 12 "restricted areas" in which enemy a

Pearl Bryan Murder\n\nBy Jim Reis-reprinted here with his permission from his book\nPieces of the Past-Volume I\n\nShe came to Cincinnati in 1896 hoping to marry the man whose child she was carrying.  Instead, the 22 year old country girl  from Greencastle, Indiana was drugged, taken to an isolated field in Ft. Thomas and decapitated.  Her head has never been found.\n\nShe was Pearl Bryan and her brutal murder is considered by many the most sensational crime in the history of Northern Kentucky.  Two dental students were arrested and convicted of the murder after a theatrical trial.  After a jail break, threats of public lynching and a last-minute flurry of telegrams between the Newport jailer and the governor, they were walked to the gallows in the Newport jail yard.\n\nScott Jackson held no hope of reprieve.  The 28 year old native of Maine was described by newspaper accounts as 5 feet 6 inches tall, with blond hair and cold, glittering steel gray eyes.  He was considered the mastermind of the murder.\n\nThere was hope, however, for Alonzo Walling, a 21 year old native of Mt. Carmel, Indiana.  He was 5 feet 9 inches tall, with dark hair and hazel eyes under heavy eyebrows that almost met.  Walling was considered a stolid and morose character with "little force of character, which made him all the more pliant tool of Jackson."  The governor had told Newport Sheriff Julius Plummer that if Jackson confessed on the gallows, including providing the location of Miss Bryan's head, he would spare Walling.\n\nAs they stood on the gallows, Plummer asked Jackson if he had anything to say before he was hanged.  Jackson said he did.  Jackson was the son of a transatlantic sea captain and had traveled extensively by the time he was a teenager.  When his father died, he moved with his mother to Jersey City, NJ and took a job with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.  His boss was charged with embezzling several thousand dollars and although Jackson was never charged with anything, he lost his job.  His mother later moved to Greencastle, Indiana.\n\nWhile visiting his mother in 1893, Jackson met Miss Bryan.  She was the daughter of a well to do farmer who lived near Greencastle.  She was described as a "Sunday school and church worker, sprightly and vivacious and a social favorite in her home."  She had "bright blue eyes, blonde hair that shaded to auburn, a pretty face, the almost flawless complexion of an unspoiled country girl."\n\nJackson and Miss Bryan were introduced by her second cousin, Will Woods, and they became friends, meeting whenever Jackson visited Greencastle. The relationship changed in the summer of 1895 and after Jackson left for Cincinnati, Miss Bryan "made a discovery."  She confided in Woods, who wrote to Jackson.  Jackson wrote back to Woods and told him "to tell the girl to come to Cincinnati."  She arrived by train at Cincinnati's Grand Central Station on Tuesday night, January 28, 1896.\n\nTwo days later, on a cold foggy morning, John Hewing was cutting across a field at the corner of Highland Avenue and Alexandria Pike in Ft. Thomas.  The property belonged to Colonel John Lock, Hewing's employer. As he walked he spotted a woman lying on the ground.  "I didn't know if she was drunk or dead" Hewing said later.  "Lots of women from the town used to come out there with the soldiers from the post.  It was a lonely spot and they often used it for a trysting place.  We had lots of women out of there who were drunk."\n\nHe told his employer about the woman, and a nearby deputy sheriff was asked to look into it.  The deputy sheriff and some others, including Coroner Bob Tingley, went to the spot and found indications of a struggle and a pool of blood at the woman's feet.  When Tingley turned over the body, he pulled her dress down, revealing that the woman's head had been cut off.\n\nOfficials searched the surrounding area for the he

no one knows for sure if she did, and all the people that were involved are long since dead. so the chances of ever knowing for sure are pretty minimal. i always thought her sister may have had something to do with it. there have been female killers all throughout history so its not really that uncommon of a situation, just for the time period and the fact that it was an Axe that was used. people of that time just didn't want to believe that a poor, innocent woman could be capable of such an atrocity.

As anyone who has lived in Hollywood will attest to, rumors spread like wildfire.  It appears that during the height of Rory Emerald’s celebrity status, circa 1985, the media was following him day and night, trying to get that elusive and more importantly exclusive story.  \n\nAt that time, Emerald was in a “Welch’s grape juice phase”.  He drank the juice day and night, mixing it with whatever alcoholic substance he could get his hands on.  Sometimes words and phrases are taken out of context and blown way out of proportion.  One wag, for the LA Times overheard Emerald praising Welch’s grape juice and saying “it’s just like momma used to make it”  This reporter interpreted this to mean that the famous actress Raquel Welch was indeed Emerald’s biological mother.  \n\nThis created a furor in the city of angels, and to dispel any further ridiculous notions that Ms. Welch was Emerald’s mother, he contacted the sex bombshell actress for a romantic and sexual liaison.  Ms. Welch was quick to comply, and spent the weekend at his lavish estate.  This further enraged the people of that fine Southern California city, who felt he was a little out of line engaging in sexual activities with his own mother.  Despite denials from both parties, and apparently rough and wild sex, the allegations continued for several years, before finally dying out.
