by Rick Daysog
The attorney general's office is requesting legal opinions by the Kamehameha
Schools' outside lawyers in wake of a scathing report by a court-appointed
special master about the attorneys' role in the three-year trust
controversy.
In a 38-page filing in state Probate Court yesterday, Deputy Attorney
General Hugh Jones said that access to the records had been protected as
attorney-client privileged material.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - One of the Korean War veterans who described the
U.S. Army killing of refugees at No Gun Ri says he now recognizes he could
not have been at the scene and instead learned of it second-hand from
soldiers who were there.
Wartime documents found in government archives by The Associated Press show
that the ex-soldier, Edward L. Daily, 69, of Clarksville, was in another
unit elsewhere in Korea when 7th Cavalry Regiment companies fired on the
South Korean civilians in late July 1950.

If the Communist Party ever falls from power in China, the first sign that
this is about to happen may be smoke rising from a nameless group of
nondescript buildings in a heavily guarded compound in Wenquan, a rural town
about 55 kilometres north of Beijing.
Behind its high walls are the Central Archives of the Chinese Communist
Party. No foreigner has ever been allowed into this prison-like complex
which hold 660,000 files and eight million documents.

by Marisa Agha
Heeding the complaints of a citizen, Roseville's mayor raised questions at
the council meeting Monday night about the $5 fee the city charges for
copies of police reports.
``If everybody else charged $50, would that mean we would charge $50?''
Mayor John Kysylyczyn asked his colleagues. ``We're not supposed to be
making money off of providing public information.''
