Chuck Yeager sued by homeowners group

SACRAMENTO, CALIF.

Chuck Yeager, the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound, is facing a very different type of challenge — this one in a California courtroom.

A homeowners association is suing the retired Air Force brigadier general and his wife, saying they owe about $28,000 in fees on two units they own in a town-house complex in Sacramento.

The Sacramento Bee reported that the 90-year-old Yeager was in court Tuesday for the case, which has gone to trial.

Dylan Farrow’s brother defends Allen

NEW YORK

Woody Allen’s adopted son has defended him against accusations he molested his then-7-year-old adopted daughter in 1992.

Moses Farrow told People magazine in an interview published Wednesday that Allen “of course” did not molest Moses’ younger sister, Dylan Farrow.

Moses Farrow and Dylan Farrow were adopted by Allen and actress Mia Farrow. Dylan Farrow recently wrote an open letter to The New York Times saying she was abused and detailing what she says happened.

New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan, who had been critical of the Times’ handling of Dylan Farrow’s accusation, wrote in an online post Wednesday that Allen has requested the opportunity to submit a response to her letter. A spokeswoman for the Times confirmed that Allen’s request was granted.
