His wife, Karen, said they both got involved in the movement because of an emptiness left by the death of their son. "We could not bring our son back, but we could do something," Karen Watkins said. "If we can eliminate violence from the lives of people around us, that is our goal." The couple spoke Sunday to the some 130 people who gathered for a candlelight vigil for crime victims. It was held at the state Capitol as part of the YWCA's "Week Without Violence" campaign in Utah that concludes Saturday. As the vigil was getting under way, Salt Lake police responded to a shooting just a few blocks away. A young gang member fired his 9mm semiautomatic weapon at a rival gang member, hif ting him twice in the abdomen. One of the victim's friends then opened fire on the assailant but missed. The wounded youth was taken to LDS Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition. anti-violen- - Clinton's overall message appeared aimed at people upset at O J.

While flying the mission 52 years ago, his plane had a hole the size of a wash tube blown between its tails by German fire. Despite the damage, Stewart's plane was the first plane out of the squadron to drop the bombs on the complex. After the mission, a fuel leak was filling the plane with fumes. Rather than crash land in Romania, Stewart elected to fly the plane back to its base in Libya. After flying 1,200 miles, the plane touched down in Benghazi. A total of 310 U.S. airmen were killed, 185 were taken as prisoners and 150 were wounded; and 54 of the 176 bombers that were sent out that day never returned. 4 sec "Clinton" on paje from pag c I dear cancer is not caused by bumping, bruising or touching the breast However, factors such as age and family history increase the chance.
