SLINGER, Wis. (AP) — It's Friday night at the Nite Owls Tavern. There's basketball on the TVs, beer and brandy Old Fashioneds in the glasses, fried fish on the plates — and good-natured conversation that largely eschews the presidential election that seems so far from this cozy, small-town watering hole.
But conflicting opinions are clear when the question is posed: Which of the candidates would be the best drinking companion?
BOSTON (AP) — Dozens of items belonging to James "Whitey" Bulger will be auctioned off in June to raise money for the families of people who were killed or extorted by the convicted Boston gangster.
Judge Denise Casper signed an order Monday that authorizes the U.S. Marshals Service to hold a three-day auction of items, including a gold and diamond Claddagh ring, a replica of a 1986 Stanley Cup championship ring, electronics and other items found in Bulger's apartment when he and his longtime girlfriend, Catherine Greig, were captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011. Some of Greig's belongings will also be sold at the auction.
