1. Auto insurance rates in the Dallas area have gone up 10 percent from a year ago. Insurers say the jump is the result of higher medical costs. Sounds to me like the insurers were hypnotized by Barack Obama’s speech to schoolchildren last week.
2. Sometime in 1968 after Robert Kennedy’s assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy wrote Ethel Kennedy a letter of condolence. The letter turned up for auction at Heritage Auction Galleries. But now the FBI has opened an investigation in Dallas — because the letter was stolen. D’Angelo Lee?
3. Norman Borlaug, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who saved 1 billion people from famine, died in Dallas at age 95. Even if I edit something real hard today, it just doesn’t seem like it’ll measure up to that accomplishment.
