But Carter has a quieter passion, the Wall Street Journal reports: He’s an accomplished woodworker. Tonight, Carter is auctioning off his latest piece, a 6-foot bench expected to draw 6 figures on the fame of its builder alone. More »

      Bill Clinton, Obama Vie for Spoken-Word Grammy

      Teen Sex Case Takes a Turn

      (Newser) - A judge ordered a 21-year-old Georgia man freed from prison today, ruling that his 10-year sentence for aggravated child molestation—receiving consensual oral sex from a 15-year-old when he was 17—was "cruel and unusual" and that keeping him incarcerated would be a "miscarriage of justice." The attorney general promptly announced his intention to appeal, stalling Genarlow Wilson's release. More »
