Nobel Peace Prize winner Ralph J. Bunche was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1904. His parents died when he was 12, and both he and his sisters moved to Los Angeles, California with their grandmother.

Each day as senior Tanu Suri leans against the counter, the customers at the photography shop where she works compliment her on looks. For months senior Suzie Adjogah dealt with the unwanted gifts her boss gave her from his travels abroad.

Health threats affect tsunami survivors
By Kelly Ferguson | Feb. 7, 2005, midnight | In Print »
According to CNN.com, despite the ongoing relief efforts in Southeast Asia, the United Nations (U.N.) warns that the long-term effects of the tsunami may be just as damaging as the tsunami itself. The U.N. fears that poor living conditions in Southeast Asia could result in an outbreak of epidemics. Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India suffered the greatest death tolls from the tsunami, but now the greatest concerns in these countries include polluted water, sanitation, food, shelter and health. Some of the diseases that are likely to emerge are waterborne diseases such as malaria and diarrhea. Respiratory tract infections are likely to be a problem as well, and gastrointestinal diseases such as cholera are also a likely result of such natural disasters.

By Isamu Bae | Feb. 7, 2005, midnight | In Print »
It was supposed to be a bad omen for the Patriots when head coach Bill Belichick found himself on the wrong sideline. Some wondered if the normally calm and collected man had been so flustered by this game that he was not thinking correctly. Maybe the talks of a dynasty, the Vince Lombardi record, the beating his Patriots were supposed to give the Eagles (according to the odds makers, anyway), had finally gotten to him.

This "Aviator" can fly
By Grace Harter | Feb. 6, 2005, midnight | In Print »
There aren't many people like Howard Hughes. He poured millions of dollars into films while the common American suffered from the Great Depression. He courted a series of celebrities like Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner and Jean Harlow, and dined with the likes of legendary swashbuckler Errol Flynn. And his response to news that he's losing hundreds of thousands of dollars on any of his projects is a simple "So?" and a cavalier shrug of the shoulders.
