Chunky Heels Are Leading Shoe Fashion Parade

This spring, don't worry too much if your toes are round or pointy, or whether you can start wearing light-colored leather: The big shoe stories of the season are about interesting materials and sculpted heels.

A couple of pairs of wood, cork, jute or raffia wedge sandals, plus a peep-toe pump and a jazzed-up ballet slipper will easily fast-forward your warm-weather wardrobe from last Labor Day to the present. Heel heights run the gamut but be warned - they're thicker than last year.

Gonzales' hold on job uncertain

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' hold on his job grew more uncertain Monday as the Senate debated removing his authority to unilaterally name U.S. attorneys and the White House said it merely hoped he would survive the tumult.

Asked if Gonzales had contained the political damage from the firing of eight federal prosecutors, White House spokesman Tony Snow said, "I don't know."

Snow declined to predict how long Gonzales would stay in his job but reiterated President Bush's support of him.

"No one's prophetic enough to know what the next 21 months hold," Snow said. "We hope he stays."

The Justice Department also planned to turn over to Congress late Monday a couple of thousand pages of new documents related to the firings.

White House counselor Dan Bartlett said that Bush had full confidence in Gonzales and that the attorney general had not offered to resign.

Annals of Liberation: Bush Surge Accelerates Assault on Iraq Academics

Excerpts from the Sunday Times: The security forces separated the men from the women and then ordered [Mohammad] Jabouris wife to give them a suitcase filled with jewellery and 20,000 in cash. When she argued they threatened to shoot her. Then they destroyed the furniture and broke the windows of the cars in the garage. "The same militiamen who used to raid our areas in the past are now conducting the security crackdown, using this as a chance to attack us further," Jabouri said.Later the same night, security forces raided a compound containing the homes of 110 university professors and their families. Professor Hameed al-Aathami described what happened: "They dragged us out of our beds as we slept with our wives and children, took us outside, bound our hands and blindfolded us. They beat, cursed and insulted us."Dr Salah Bidayat, the dean of the school of law, fired two shots from his licensed gun in the air to get the soldiers attention.

The Bargain Hunter

Checking in at this Albany warehouse sale for home decorating fabric is like going on safari for the ultimate bargain. The array reflects recent color and design trends, the classic and traditional, and some fabrics so old they've developed retro status. Prices are low to clear out many years' worth of inventory from this custom furniture manufacturer before it remodels the building and reorients the business. Fabric will be $1 to $5 a yard when bought by the roll.

The caveats: Small rolls with 2 to 8 yards of fabric will be sold as is -- that is, you take it all for one price, from $2 to $15 per roll. Larger rolls involve two prices. To get the lowest price you must buy a minimum of 20 yards. Buy less and you'll pay about double.

Choose from chenilles, velvets, tapestries, jacquards, damasks, mattelasses and more; weaves and textures in prints and solids in cottons, linen blends, and rayon and cotton blends.

SPARTA, Tenn. There was no screaming. No jumping up and down.

In fact, it was so quiet that you could hear the frogs chirping from a nearby pond when Elizabeth and Reece Green learned they'd become the richest farmers in White County.
