According to Bonneville County sheriff Byron Stommel, a 14-year-old girl who had been sleeping with her sisters on the family's backyard trampoline was abducted at gunpoint during the night by Keith Glenn Hescock, 42. After allegedly assaulting her at his home and chaining her to a bed, Hescock went to his day job as a traveling tool salesman. The girl found a nearby fire extinguisher, beat at the chain for several hours to break it, freed herself and then, perhaps because her family's home line was busy, called her parents' office. The employee who answered picked...

His label was taken over by Swedish designer Lars Nilsson in 2001. DIED. JOHN GOTTI, 61, Mafia don and godfather of one of the most powerful crime families in America, of throat...
Your item on extracting natural gas using coal-bed methane development in Wyoming's Powder River Basin, "Rocky Mountain Deep: The Next Drilling War" [NOTEBOOK, May 20], left some mistaken impressions. The Powder River Basin is not in the Rocky Mountains but is some distance from those scenic mountain peaks. And although the basin is home to wildlife, it is not exactly "pristine," having been a major energy-producing area for more than 20 years. Also, you implied that the impacts of drilling new methane wells are uniformly negative, overlooking the benefits of the clean, nonsaline water that is pumped...
