The cardinal saw five of the youths at Spofford Juvenile Center and spoke with the other one, Kharey Wise, at Rikers Island on Saturday.

Tony Coelho (D-Calif.) owned an interest in a dairy management company at the same time he was pushing legislation to help maintain the profitability of some dairy farms, a review of records shows. Coelho, the House majority whip and third-ranking Democrat, became a limited partner in Dairy Management Associates in December 1983, his disclosure forms show. When he bought into the partnership with an investment valued at between $5,000 and $15,000, he was a member of the House livestock, dairy and poultry subcommittee.
