Decided by a nose? Court ponders drug dog's sniff

MIAMI (AP) - Franky the drug dog's super-sensitive nose is at the heart of a question being put to the U.S. Supreme Court: Does a police K-9's sniff outside a house give officers the right to get a search warrant for illegal drugs, or is the sniff itself an unconstitutional search?

Further reducing a $12.6 million jury award, a unanimous Connecticut Supreme Court panel found insufficient evidence of sex discrimination in chemistry teacher Leslie Craine's case against Trinity College. The case -- the first trial loss in 13 years for Trinity's attorney Felix J.

In one such instance, Goodling blocked an expert candiate for a counterterrorism post, apparently due to his wife's Democratic ties. The post instead went to someone with no experience in that area. Former AG Alberto Gonzales says the report vindicates him.
