| McLean's wife stays on the move, lawyer says
In affidavits filed in Knox County Fourth Circuit Court, Eric McLean and his divorce attorney, Steve Sharp, allege former West High School student teacher Erin McLean is embarked on a rootless existence with a 19-year-old paramour. "(Erin McLean) has been to California and then to Austin, Texas, staying in cheap motels and then moving when she is unable to pay the bills," Sharp wrote. Attorney Bruce Poston, who is defending Eric McLean on charges that he killed Sean Powell, his wife's teenage student and lover, in March, said Tuesday Erin McLean has since surfaced in Boulder, Colo. Sharp has been trying to serve Erin McLean with divorce papers since September to no avail in an effort to gain custody of the couple's sons, ages 11 and 8. It was then that Erin McLean fled her mother's Nashville home with the boys after news surfaced that she had lied to get a job as a teacher at a private Christian school and allegedly tried to seduce a 17-year-old student.
The President's 'First Mechanic'
Although President George W. Bush calls him “the Pinkster" in letters, Santiago Gonzalez goes by “Pinkey" to the Georgetown residents who visit his store on M Street. Gonzalez, who immigrated to the US from Spain, is a bicycle mechanic and co-owner of Revolution Cycles, a four-store chain of bicycle shops in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. About 10 years ago, Pinkey started Revolution Cycles, now reputed as the chain that supplies Bush with his bicycles and bicycle maintenance. They also provide similar services to the Secret Service, John Kerry and locals. This week, THE HOYA sits down with the man who Bicycling Magazine dubbed “The First Mechanic." How long have you been working on bicycles? Me? Uh ... too long. About 20 years. How did you get involved in this business? Way back when … I was a young kid, a real good friend of mine open[ed] up a bike shop, [and] I used to go hang out after school [and] do my homework and stuff.
PPP hope lies with 3rd generation Bhuttoists
KARACHI: The chehlum or day to mark the end of a forty-day mourning period attracted droves of Benazir Bhutto supporters to Bilawal House Thursday but not all of them were people who had necessarily seen her in person.
For example, 12-year-old Tanveer Raza, who arrived with his paternal grandmother Zainab Sanghar, was a member of the third generation of his family to become a Bhuttoist. [For us,] Benazir Bhutto is a source of inspiration, said his grandmother, a resident of Moosa Lane, Lyari, known as a PPP stronghold. Eight-year-old Kumail, another new generation Bhuttoist, came with his grandmother, Noor Jehan Akram.
These families have been with the Pakistan Peoples Party for the last 30 years since the days of the leadership of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the founder of the party.
