      The Gospel According to Jefferson

      'Missouri Miracle,' 1 Year Later

      A year has passed since police cracked the 4-day-old kidnapping case of Ben Ownby, and with it, astonishingly, the 4-year-old case of Shawn Hornbeck.

      Will Kidney Stone Make Teresa a Saint?

      The disappearance of a half-inch-long kidney stone in the uterer of an Indian priest may be the second miracle required for Mother Teresa to become a saint. On the 10th anniversary of her death last month, the priest, who was scheduled for surgery to remove the stone the next day, celebrated mass and asked parishioners to pray to her on his behalf. The next day, x-rays revealed the stone had vanished.  More »
