| Riveting 'Bug' finds couple mired in paranoia
She figures it must be her ex-husband, Goss (Dan Morrison), who is out of prison and unfazed by court orders not to contact her again. Agnes is lonely. When she isn't slinging drinks at a local dive, she's snorting lines or sharing a crack pipe with her best friend, R.C. (Audra Lord). When R.C. shows up with Peter (Jon Ager), Agnes not only invites the stranger to share her drugs but also to bunk on the floor for the night. After sleeping with Agnes the next night, Peter wakes up in a sweat and is certain that he sees bugs on the sheets. The once soft-spoken man now begins to rave, claiming that government scientists planted bugs under his skin when he was serving in the Persian Gulf. A toothache must be the result of a massive egg sack placed beneath a recent filling.

McCain’s life experiences will suit road ahead
John McCain was not my first choice. Or even the second or third. He'd be far more appealing with a Southern conservative as a running mate — former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, or Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, to name three. But conservative running mate or not, Mitt Romney's class-act exit leaves McCain without serious challenge for the nomination. And as both Romney and McCain noted in same-day speeches to the Conservative Political Action Conference, this election is not about shades of gray. "Elections in this country are fought within margins of small differences," said McCain. "This one will not be. We are arguing about hugely consequential things." Romney's departing words defined the immediate course for conservatives.

Recognition flaps continue for Abenaki Email this page Print this page
Francis Sokoki Band of Missisquoi Abenaki, received an e-mail Feb. 19 from Indian Arts and Crafts Board Program Support Specialist Ken Van Wey, explaining the labeling requirements of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act and telling Larocque to stop advertising his work as an Abenaki product.
The board, which is part of the Interior Department, administers the act. The act is a truth-in-marketing law designed to prevent the marketing of art and craft products as ''Indian'' made when they are not made by Indians as defined by the IACA, Van Wey wrote. The board found Larocque's work at the St. Francis Sokoki Band of Abenaki Web site.
''While the IACB has been in communication with the state of Vermont regarding the state recognition of Indian Tribes, and understands that the state of Vermont may be recognizing some groups as Tribes in the near future, you should refrain from selling your work as Indian, Native American, or as the product of a particular Indian Tribe until your group is officially recognized as an Indian Tribe by the state of Vermont or the federal government,'' Van Wey wrote, disregarding Interiors' final determination last July declining to recognize the St.
