Rescuers find bodyin collapsed garage
ROCKVILLE, Md. -- Rescue crews found the body of a construction worker Saturday who had been missing since the collapse of a seven-story parking garage that killed two others.
The workers were killed when the floors of the unfinished garage crashed down Friday afternoon. Another was hospitalized in critical condition, but Montgomery County fire spokesman Pete Piringer said the worker's condition had stabilized.
The body of the unidentified worker was found shortly after 3 p.m., said county police spokesman Derek Baliles. He was part of a work team on a 15-day assignment from North Carolina.
The body was taken to the State Medical Examiner's Office in Baltimore.
"It appears the entire building came down upon him," said Tom Carr, county assistant fire chief. "The thought would be he was killed on impact."
Carl Gene Fisher, of Wadesboro, N.C., and Hubaldo Medina Andrade, of Chapel Hill, N.C., also were killed in the collapse. Fifteen workers were in the garage when it fell.
Biographer revealsdetails of JFK's health
NEW YORK -- President John F. Kennedy suffered more pain and illness than previously known, and took as many as eight medications a day, according to a published report.
Newly disclosed medical files from the last eight years of Kennedy's life, including X-rays and prescription records, show he took painkillers, anti-anxiety drugs, stimulants and sleeping pills, as well as hormones to keep him alive, according to a story for today's editions of The New York Times.
The records were revealed by historian Robert Dallek, who is writing a biography, "An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963," to be published next year by Little, Brown.
Dallek was allowed to examine the documents last spring by a committee of three longtime Kennedy family associates, who for decades refused all requests to look at the records. He reviewed the documents with the assistance of physician Jeffrey A. Kelman, but was not allowed to make photocopies, the newspaper said.
Their findings appear in the December issue of The Atlantic.
The records reveal that Kennedy variously took codeine, Demerol and methadone for pain; Ritalin, a stimulant; meprobamate and librium for anxiety; barbiturates for sleep; thyroid hormone; and injections of a blood derivative, gamma globulin, presumably to combat infections.
Bomb attack foiled
KUWAIT CITY -- Kuwaiti police have arrested a senior member of Al-Qaida who was helping to plan a car bomb attack on a Yemeni hotel frequented by Americans, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Police arrested a 21-year-old Kuwaiti identified only by the initials "M.F." two weeks ago, the Kuwaiti daily Al-Anba said.
An Interior Ministry official confirmed the newspaper report, but would provide no further details.
According to Al-Anba, the arrested Kuwaiti told police that a Yemeni national identified as Osama al-Yemeni was to drive a bomb-wired car into an unidentified hotel in the Yemeni capital, San'a.
The Kuwaiti told police he had collected $127,000 to finance the operation, Al-Anba reported.
Prince wins injunction
LONDON -- Prince Charles won a court order Saturday preventing a Sunday newspaper from publishing details of a book by a former housekeeper to the royal family.
The Glasgow-based Sunday Mail planned to print details from "The Housekeeper's Tale" by Wendy Berry. In 1995 a British court banned the book's publication, but it was released in North America.
Lawyers for Prince Charles argued that the Sunday Mail article would infringe the prince's privacy and serve no public interest. Edinburgh's Court of Session agreed.
Berry worked as housekeeper to Charles and his wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, for nine years until they separated in 1992. She wrote the book, which contains intimate details of Charles and Diana's life, despite signing a confidentiality agreement when she took the job.
