Henry John Hyde (born April 18 1924), American politician, was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from 1975 to 2006, representing the 6th , saying they ``served no useful purpose.'' ``I'm an admirer of Alec and over the years have become a friend, but his remarks about Henry Hyde crossed the line,'' Valenti said. ``Whether one agrees or disagrees with Chairman Hyde's political position, even his antagonists will have to confess that he is a man of towering integrity and probably no man in the House matches up with his reputation to be fair.'' Baldwin, in a satirical appearance on ``Late Night With Conan O'Brien'' said Hyde should be ``stoned to death'' and lawmakers' wives and children should be killed. While the skit was meant as a joke, it did not sit well and Baldwin wrote a letter of apology to Hyde. ``In the current supercharged su·per·charge tr.v. su·per·charged, su·per·charg·ing, su·per·charg·es 1.

Lesh, 58, was in stable condition at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., where the surgery was performed a day earlier. He was hospitalized for several days in September near his Marin County home with internal bleeding stemming from hepatitis C Hepatitis C Definition Hepatitis C is a form of liver inflammation that causes primarily a long-lasting (chronic) disease. Acute (newly developed) hepatitis C is rarely observed as the early disease is generally quite mild. , which he learned he had in 1992. ``When he had that bleeding attack in September, it became fairly obvious'' that his liver was severely damaged, said Grateful Dead publicist Dennis McNally. ``He's in great shape, considering,'' McNally said Friday afternoon. ``His spirits are very high.'' The Grateful Dead and their legions of followers were known for using drugs during the band's heyday. But there is no way of knowing what caused Lesh's hepatitis infection, McNally said. ``There have been a number of other musicians I've interacted with that have hepatitis C,'' said Dr. David Smith, who founded San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury Free Clinic in 1967 and has worked closely with the Grateful Dead. ``A large number of people who were alcoholics and addicts were hepatitis C-positive,'' Smith said.

Lesh kept up a healthy lifestyle for years after that early hard-living time, but those infected with hepatitis C a generation ago often don't realize they have the virus since a test was only recently developed. Lesh's wife, Jill, and sons, Brian and Grahame, were with him in Florida for the transplant. Titanic teen's potscard gets $24,150 on auction block A postcard from the doomed Titanic, never mailed by the teen-age passenger who wrote it, sold for more than $24,000 at an auction Friday in London. Second-class passenger Edith Brown wrote the card to her stepsister in South Africa but still had it in her pocket when she jumped from the sinking ocean liner into a lifeboat on the night of April 14, 1912. The buyer was Thomas Rogers, owner of a shipping services company in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the city where the Titanic was built. Sotheby's auction house said Rogers paid $24,150 because he thought the postcard should be brought home. More than 1,500 people died after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of . The 16-year-old Edith leaped into the lifeboat as it was being lowered into the water, disobeying a crewman who warned her she would ``upset the balance.'' The slightly water-stained card of the ship, which she eventually delivered to her stepsister by hand, reads: ``We are just sailing today by this boat for New York . . . 4,000 ton . . . EB.'' The stepsister's granddaughter was the seller of the postcard. Tales of conspiracy pain Diana's mum Princess Diana's mother lashed out at conspiracy theorists who suspect her daughter's death was no accident. Frances Shand Kydd The Honourable Frances Ruth Shand Kydd (20 January 1936 – 3 June 2004) was the mother of Diana, Princess of Wales. After two failed marriages and the deaths of two children, she devoted her later years to Roman Catholic charity work. said the pain those theories cause is like ``having repetitive major emotional surgery without an anesthetic.'' ``I trawled the depths of my imagination, alongside extensive factual knowledge, and found no shred of evidence to support the stories,'' she said. Shand Kydd spoke at a London church Thursday at a remembrance service for families of dead children. Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. The French investigation continues, but alcohol and speeding are considered the main causes. McCartney chats with fans on Web Giving his first cyber-interview, Paul McCartney chatted with fans, gave away his mashed potato recipe and talked about his late wife, Linda. The session, held Thursday to promote Linda McCartney's posthumous album, ``White Prairie,'' lasted 80 minutes. The former Beatle told fans he has not decided whether to perform in a string of concerts organized by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders as a tribute to his wife, who died of breast cancer in April. ``If I can get it together, I will appear,'' he said. ``But I am not sure I can do it emotionally at all, to tell you the truth.''
