U.K. Expenses Scandal Claims Political Casualties
Residents and local governments in Niigata Prefecture are outraged by revelations that East Japan Railway Co. (JR East), for at least a decade, not only used more water than permitted from the Shinanogawa river, but also covered up the misuse with computer programs that issued false data.
The U.K.'s two leading political parties offered their first sacrificial lambs in reaction to revelations that taxpayers have funded dubious living expenses for dozens of politicians.
The disciplinary actions against members of both the ruling Labour Party and the opposition Conservatives stem from a spiralling crisis in which the widely admired British political system -- proudly known as "the mother of all Parliaments" -- has suddenly morphed into the mother of all scandals.

Due to the generosity of Pope Honorius, a Dominican priory was established at San Sisto (Pope Saint Sixtus II, Martyr) on the Appian Way. Dominic, having received a revelation from God, called the brethren to the chapter room to announce the proximate deaths of four friars, two physically and two spiritually. Soon thereafter, his prediction proved true, for two men died, and two others left the Order for worldliness.
The community at San Sisto had grown very numerous. One day, Dominic was informed by the procurator that their begging had produced almost no food. He ordered the brethren, nevertheless, to gather at table for their meal. He then prayed and suddenly two young men or angels, looking mysteriously alike, came into the refectory to dispense a portion of bread and wine to each friar. The same procurator told of a similar miracle on another occasion.

The AIG Bonuses: Getting Mad and Getting Even
By JAY NEWTON-SMALL / WASHINGTON
The theme of Capitol Hill on St. Patrick's Day was outrage. But what can Congress do about it? And could there be a sacrificial lamb?
