(AP) A Southern California man sent to prison for seven years for falsely claiming to be an attorney has been sentenced to two more years for posing as a lawyer again days after he was released. Prosecutors say 64-year-old Harold Goldstein got the maximum sentence Monday for violating the terms of his supervised release.

Goldstein was sentenced to seven years in federal prison in 2003 for using the name of a Northern California attorney to represent clients in court. He was also convicted of mail fraud for sending solicitation letters to inmates. U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Thom Mrozek says Goldstein again started claiming he was a lawyer only days after he was released on May 1. Vol.

9 a.m.- Sat. 9 a.m. SpM. Columnist Robert Novak dies after brain cancer battle WASHINGTON (AP) Robert Novak, the political columnist who played a central role in the Valerie Plamc CIA leak case, died Tuesday. He was 78.

He died at his home in Washington after a battle with brain cancer that was diagnosed in July 2008, said his wife, Geraldine Novak. A household face as co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," Novak had been a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times lor decades. Novak also produced many scoops, including the 2003 column in which he outed Plame as a CIA agent. The article was published eight days after Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, said the Bush administration had twisted prewar intelligence to exaggerate the Iraqi threat of nuclear weapons. Citing two Bush administration officials, Novak revealed Plame worked for the CIA on weapons of mass destruction.

That blew her cover as a CIA operative and led to the investigation of who leaked that information, and eventually to the conviction of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying to investigators about his conversations with reporters about Plame. Libby's prison sentence was later commuted by President Bush. Born and raised in Jolict, 111., Novak began his career in journalism in high school as a sports stringer for the Joliet Herald-News, then worked at the Champaign-Urbana Courier while attending the University of Illinois. Following college, he served stateside in the U.S.

In 1958, Novak joined the staff of the Wall Street Journal and soon became their chief congressional correspondent. In 1963 he teamed up with the late Rowland Evans Jr. to pen a political column, "Inside Washington," that lasted 30 years. Evans died in March 2001, and Novak continued to write the column until his brain tumor diagnosis in July 2008. THE DAILY NEWS Founded in 1922 By Joseph F.
