Willoughby, that the council member offered to drop his opposition to the group’s bid if one of its members would agree to withdraw from a separate real estate deal with Metro, on whose board Mr. Graham sat.

PHILADELPHIA — Former FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped to lead Penn State’s investigation into the child sex-abuse allegations against a former assistant football coach, said his inquiry will go as far back as 1975, a much longer period than a grand jury report issued earlier this month. Freeh was named Monday to oversee the university board of trustees’ internal investigation into the abuse allegations that ultimately led to the ouster of longtime football coach Joe Paterno and university President Graham Spanier.

The Nittany Lions are gearing up for a game this week against Ohio State, having lost Saturday’s home game against Nebraska. Students are refocusing attention on their studies. Things seem to be quieting down after a week in which the State College, Pa., campus was rocked by allegations of child sexual abuse and the institution’s seeming indifference.

Too bad so many in the audience thought it was a big, fat joke. “You should pass this jobs plan right away!” Obama exhorted. Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) chuckled. “Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary — an outrage he has asked us to fix,” Obama went on. Widespread laughter broke out on the GOP side of the aisle. Read full article > >

Police have named a suspect in a double homicide in Columbia Heights. Wanted posters hanging in the neighborhood show the face of Irving Harris Johnson, 25, who police say is the lone suspect in the shootings of Jimmie Lee Simmons III, 32, and Dominique Barber, 31, of Northwest. They were killed in the 1400 block of Parkwood Place on July 9. Barber, Simmons and a third man were shot in the head shortly before 6 a.m. outside a house that neighbors and D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) say is notorious for late-night drug-dealing and gambling. The third man is still being treated for his injuries, Graham said Tuesday. Read full article > >
