THE RACE FOR '08: OBAMA SPEECH HIGHLIGHTS
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is confronting the nation's
racial divide head-on. In a speech in Philadelphia, Obama tried to quiet an
uproar that has emerged since incendiary statements made by his former
pastor became public. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obama's chief rival, says she
is glad he gave the speech. Clinton says that race and gender issues have
been "complicated in this primary season."

RACE AND THE RACE FOR '08
More on Senator Barack Obama's big speech on race in America and his
relationship with the controversial former pastor of his church, the
Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Senator Obama denounced statements by the
Reverend that he called "incendiary," but stopped short of denouncing the
man himself. Joining us, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan and,
from Orlando, Juan Williams, who's a political analyst for Fox News and
National Public Radio.
MILLS-MCCARTNEY DIVORCE SETTLEMENT: THE DETAILS REVEALED W/NICK
WATT
A judge's ruling in the bitter Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce case
shed new light Tuesday on a miserable marriage, saying Mills twisted the
truth when convenient and made "exorbitant" financial demands. "To some
extent she is her own worst enemy," wrote Judge Hugh Bennett. "She has an
explosive and volatile character." Mills, who lost part of her leg when
she was hit by a motorcycle, cast McCartney as an abusive, alcoholic
husband who cruelly made fun of her disability. But the judge made clear
the angry assertions rang hollow. In a devastating indictment, Bennett
called Mills' testimony "not just inconsistent and inaccurate, but also
less than candid. Overall she was a less than impressive witness." By
contrast, the judge praised McCartney, 65, for "consistent, accurate and
honest" testimony in the ruling, made public after he rejected Mills'
attempt to block its release. Calling Mills' demand of $250 million from
McCartney "exorbitant" in light of their four-year marriage, the judge said
her claims may have been inflated because of her estranged husband's
stature.

WEST VIRGINIA POWERBALL WINNERS
Eight co-workers from Morgantown plan to head back to the office despite
claiming a 276 million-dollar Powerball jackpot. The women all work at the
Monongalia County sheriff's department's tax office. They were introduced
at a news conference today at West Virginia Lottery headquarters in
Charleston. The group opted to take the 139 million-dollar cash payout
option. Each will receive 11.9 million dollars after taxes. Chief Tax
Deputy Linda Fominko says she sensed something on Thursday and told her
co-workers that they needed to buy Powerball tickets that night for
Saturday's drawing. Fominko used the "Easy Pick" option for the winning
numbers, which were sold at a video poker bar in Westover, near Morgantown.
