Fred Cook's felony armed robbery conviction in Vigo County stands despite the expungement of juvenile court records in the case, according to that county's clerk of courts.

Robert Mugabe is president of Zimbabwe. I hosted President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe at City Hall in 2002, and I'd do it again," Councilman Charles Barren told The Amsterdam News. "When the truth comes out, people are going to see that Mugabe is right. This is all about him being bold enough to take back the land from the people who murdered us and stole it from us in the first place. Malcolm X said that land is the basis of freedom, and Mugabe is taking back his land for the African people of Zimbabwe.

Saturday's Ames straw poll disposed of Tim Pawlenty, who not so long ago seemed positioned to give Romney a real challenge.

Romney and Perry will be competing to face possibly the weakest incumbent since Jimmy Carter, with the world in turmoil and the economy adrift. Six months ago, it still seemed as if primary voters might be choosing a sacrificial lamb to run against President Barack Obama. Now it looks as if they might choose the...

City Council candidates Lee Harris and Kemba Ford ended their town hall meeting at Douglass K-8 School by giving each other a hug, then they took the gloves off as their campaigns entered the home stretch.
