Ten Commandments bill clears Legislature The state Legislature on Thursday approved a bill allowing public schools to display the Ten Commandments, and Gov. Mike Easley said he would sign it into law. Displays of the Ten Commandments in schools have been repeatedly struck down by courts that said they violate the separation of church and state. But supporters say the bill would allow schools to display any historical document or object that has influenced the nations government and legal system, not just the Ten Commandments.

The Associated Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. A 14-year-old boy who could get up to life in prison for shooting his teacher to death told a judge Thursday: Words cannot really express how sorry I am, but theyre all I have." Nathaniel Brazill took the stand during a sentencing hearing at which the teachers mother and brother testified the boy would be a danger to society if he ever got out of prison. Brazill insisted, as he did during his trial, that he didnt mean to hurt his teacher, Barry Grunow.

As I look back on that day I wish it had not happened and that 1 could bring Mr Grunow back, he said, reading from a statement I would like to say to every one that I am very, very sorry. And to Mr. Grunows family, I am sorry. If I had thought about what I was doing none of this would have happened. Regardless of what anyone thinks, I never intended to harm Mr.

Grunow, he said. The teen called Grunow a great man and a great teacher. Ive been thinking about Mrs. Grunow and how lonely she is. Circuit Judge Richard Wennet said he will decide today whether the teen-ager can be rehabilitated.

Brazill faces 25 years to life in prison. Brazill was tried as an adult and convicted in May of second-degree murder in the killing of Grunow, 35, at Lake Worth Middle School on the last day of the 2000 school year. Bush honors code talkers Navajo vets awarded Congressional Medal of Honor 'Naturally we were concerned about the survival (of the country) in the Great War at the time. At the same time we were defending our own country, the Navajo Allen Dale June, Navajo code talker One of the four, Allen Dale June of West Valley City, Utah, was just 17 and lied about his age to enlist in the Marines in 1942. Naturally we were concerned about the survival (of the country) in the Great War at the time.

At the same time we were defending our own country, the Navajo Nation, said June, now 79. The Code Talkers were a group of Navajo Indians who used their native language to develop a code that was never broken and used by Marines throughout the Pacific front. The Navajo language is complex, and through circumlocution the Code Talkers made it even more so. For example, a colonel was encoded into the Navajo word for silver eagle or Ataah-besh-le-gai. A submarine became Besh-lo, which in Navajo means iron fish, and a bomber was Jay-sho, or buzzard in Navajo.

The Code Talkers were sworn to secrecy and returned home without fanfare. Even after the project was declassified in 1968, By Robert Gehrke The Associated Press WASHINGTON Nearly six decades after they went to war, 29 Navajo Indians were honored Thursday for creating the uncrackable code used by the Marines during World War IIs fiercest battles. President Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian award Congress can bestow, to four of the surviving Navajo Code Talkers. The other 25 Code Talkers were represented by family members, who accepted the medals. Today, we honor 29 Native Americans who, in a desperate hour, gave their country a service only they could give, Bush said in a ceremony held in the packed rotunda of the Capitol.

Today, we give these exceptional Marines the recognition they earned so long ago. King confident job with SCLC is safe Martin Luther King III said Thursday that his job as head of the civil rights group founded by his father is secure despite criticism from the board chairman. King, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) since 1998, was issued a warning last month from board chairman Claud Young that Kings lack of productivity and poor work ethic put his job in jeopardy. King, 43, was placed on administrative leave in June and reinstated a week later. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on the rift this week.

there was no official recognition. Only five of the 29 original Code Talkers are still living, and only four were well enough to travel to Washington for the honor. Chester Nez, of Albuquerque, N.M., said hes sorry that more of the 29 original Code Talkers didnt live to receive the honor. It makes me kind of feel bad that these guys are gone, said Nez, 80.
