An aide to Netanyahu said she was due on Saturday night. He spoke on condition of anonymity pending an official announcement.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — The 15-year-old suspect in the killing of 9-year-old Elizabeth Olten will appear in a Missouri courtroom for a closed hearing.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — When Barack Obama came to Florida in February, GOP Gov. Charlie Crist gave him a hug. This time, Crist says he didn't even know the president was in his state.

BOSTON — The highest court in Massachusetts is scrutinizing the jury selection process in the trial of a once-prominent doctor who is serving a life sentence in the 1999 killing of his wife.
