WORCESTER – When President Barack Obama becomes the first sitting U.S. commander-in-chief to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge landed on the island in January 1928, he'll be accompanied by Worcester congressman James P. McGovern.
The Democrat announced his traveling plans Thursday in Worcester, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, which reported that McGovern hopes the trip will "cement" America's new relationship with the communist nation.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The two top executives of the Wounded Warrior Project have been fired amid allegations of lavish spending practices that ate up as much as half its funds, which mainly come from public donations.
Actions taken by the charitable organization's board of directors aim "to help restore trust in the organization" that began as a shoestring charity providing goodie bags to hospitalized soldiers and became an $800 million fundraising phenomenon.
