YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — If life has taught Kate Bowditch anything, it's to do what she wants, even when people tell her no. That philosophy is based on an important premise — you never know where that experiment will take you. "I don't think that will make me very popular. But this is my time to do everything I had set aside for years," the 71-year-old said. "I didn't realize how many things I had set aside until now." From a young age, Bowditch wanted to be a cartoonist. Despite urging from her mother to choose a different career path... Читать дальше...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal tax overhaul passed in December is "completely unacceptable" to Native Americans, just another example of what can happen when tribes are not included in federal decision-making, a tribal leader said Monday. National Congress of American Indians President Jefferson Keel said in the annual State of Indian Nations address that the government-to-government relationship between tribes and Washington is even more important now, as the federal government pushes more control toward the states.

The red and tan painted storefront was built in 1870 as Campbell's Grocery. Today, it's home to hundreds of puppets of every shape, size and origin. String, hand, rod, shadow — all the great puppetry forms are represented. Including, of course, a Pinocchio. But on Tuesday, the museum shelves were half empty in anticipation of a new exhibit.

QAIM, Iraq (AP) — From their outpost on Iraq's westernmost edge, U.S. 1st Lt. Kyle Hagerty and his troops watched civilians trickle into the area after American and Iraqi forces drove out the Islamic State group.

They were families looking for shelter after being driven from their homes in a nearby town.... Читать дальше...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
