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.

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

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

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.
