News for Week Ending Friday, Mar 8, 2019


1.   In Florida, two sisters—61 and 63 years old—have just been accused of murdering their father four years ago.   ***   Investigators believe the women became angry when their allowance was cut after they stayed out past their curfew.

2.   Nearly 30 people became ill and one woman died after eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Spain.  ***   When you think about it, selecting a restaurant based on ratings by a company that makes tires is like asking McDonald’s to recommend a good radial.

3.   The FDA has just approved Spravado, an anti-depressant nasal spray which is recommended for use when other drugs are ineffective.   ***   Or whenever winter just seems to go on forever.

4.   Volvo just announced that all its cars will be electronically limited to a top speed of 112 mph.  ***   You might want to try using that as an excuse the next time you’re late for work.

5.   In Oakland, California, a TV news crew was robbed at gunpoint while covering a teachers’ strike.  ***  The gunmen ran off when several teachers attacked them with threats of after-school detention, loss of library privileges and low marks in citizenship.
