Disorderly conduct charge dropped against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr

Tuesday July  21, 2009* United States News.US Disorderly conduct charge dropped against black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr
 

(CBS/AP) 
Prosecutors dropped a disorderly conduct charge Tuesday against prominent black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr., who was arrested at his home near Harvard University after a report of a break-in.

The city of Cambridge issued a statement saying the arrest "was regrettable and unfortunate" and police and Gates agreed that dropping the charge was a just resolution.

"This incident should not be viewed as one that demeans the character and reputation of professor Gates or the character of the Cambridge Police Department," the statement said.

Supporters say Gates — the director of Harvard's W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research — was the victim of racial profiling.

Officers responded to the home Gates rents from Harvard after a woman reported seeing "two black males with backpacks on the porch," with one "wedging his shoulder into the door as if he was trying to force entry," according to a police report.

Fabulous and Over 40

Sandra Bullock waited until she was 44 to do her first nude scene, in the new film "The Proposal," which debuted July 10 at the top of the box office. "Box office like this, I'm going to be naked in every film," she joked on British morning show "GMTV." The scene, during which her character has a naked run-in with co-star Ryan Reynolds, took three days to film and over a dozen takes, Usmagazine.com reports. "It was all about choreography. I mean, literally, when you read it on the page, you saw it, and then you realized, 'OK, there is no way to shoot this unless you are buck naked!' Then I went, 'Go to the gym, cut out the carbs!'" she said, according to Usmagazine.com.

Monday July  20, 2009* United States News.US   -- Exclusive: Missing U.S. Soldier May Be in Pakistan
 

The U.S. soldier kidnapped by Taliban forces in Afghanistan may have been taken across the border to Pakistan, complicating efforts to obtain his release, according to two people involved in U.S. and Afghan military efforts to locate him, and three Afghan soldiers captured with him.

The soldier, Pfc. Bowe R. Bergdahl, 23, of Idaho, is the first serviceman captured since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. According to a person actively involved in the search, a top Afghan insurgent commander has taken credit for capturing the soldier and has now moved the soldier to South Waziristan, Pakistan.

On the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the first men to reach the moon's surface said it's time for the country to renew its commitment to space exploration and look beyond the moon to Mars.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- NASA released newly restored videos Thursday of two U.S. astronauts taking the world's first steps on the moon.

The images were released just four days before the 40th anniversary of the historic event that captivated the world on July 20, 1969.

The release, part of a larger Apollo 11 moonwalk restoration project, features 15 key moments from the historic lunar excursion, NASA said in a statement.

Astronaut Neil Armstrong, now 78, was the first to venture onto the moon's surface after the lunar module Eagle landed on the so-called Sea of Tranquility. Following him was Buzz Aldrin, now 79.
