1. Engraving of ancient menorah found in Israel
JERUSALEM — Israeli archaeologists have uncovered one of the earliest depictions of a menorah, the seven-branched candelabra that has come to symbolize Judaism, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Friday.
The menorah was engraved in stone around 2,000 years ago and found in a synagogue recently discovered by the Sea of Galilee.
Pottery, coins and tools found at the site indicate the synagogue dates to the period of the second Jewish temple in Jerusalem, where the actual menorah was kept, said archaeologist Dina Avshalom-Gorni of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
The artist might have seen the menorah during a pilgrimage and then recreated it in the synagogue, she suggested.
A small number of depictions of the menorah have surfaced from the same period, she said, but this one was unique because it was inside a synagogue and far from Jerusalem, illustrating the link between Jews around Jerusalem and in the Galilee to the north.
2. Russia opens credit line to Venezuela for weapons
CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez says Russia has opened a $2.2 billion line of credit for Venezuela to purchase
armored vehicles and surface-to air missiles.
Chavez said Venezuela needed new weapons to replace outdated equipment while preparing for what he claimed was a possible U.S. invasion. The socialist leader frequently warned that Washington wanted to seize control of his country's oil reserves.
The arms deal was announced last week during Chavez's visit to Moscow, and he gave details Sunday. He says his government plans to buy 92 T-72 tanks and Smerch missile launching systems.
Venezuela has already bought more than S4 billion worth of Russian arms since 2005, including helicopters, fighter jets and Kalashnikov assault rifles.

4. FBI investigates 'stolen'
note by Jackie Kennedy
NATIONAL
DALLAS — A Dallas newspaper reports that the FBI is investigating a "stolen" handwritten condolence note by Jacqueline Kennedy to Ethel Kennedy that was penned shortly after Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination
The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that investigators and Kennedy relatives suspected the note was taken from Robert and Ethel Kennedy's McLean, Va., home.
The note has changed hands several times and has sold for as much as $25,000.
It made its way to a Dallas auction house in 2006, when it was consigned by an attorney from Framingham, Mass. A Kennedy relative told the FBI that his family had never given nor sold the note. The FBI used a search warrant to seize it Aug. 27 from Heritage Auction Galleries.
FBI spokesman Mark White says the note is "a stolen good" and part of a criminal investigation.
5. Catholic Church settles two sexual abuse lawsuits
PUEBLO, Colo. — Two men who filed lawsuits alleging they were sexually abused by a former priest have reached settlements with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pueblo, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Monsignor Mark Plewka of the
diocese confirmed the settlements with a man and his nephew, The Pueblo Chieftain said.
The man alleged Andrew Burke abused him from 1970-78. The lawsuits accuse Burke of establishing a similar relationship with the man's nephew.
Burke left the priesthood in 1973. He committed suicide in September 2005 at age 62, after reporters asked questions about the allegations.
6. TV show aids in capture of robbery suspect in Mo.
KINGDOM CITY, Mo. — A man suspected of robbing banks in five states has been captured in Missouri after someone recognized him from the television show America's Most Wanted.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a news release Sunday that Chad E. Schaffner was arrested Saturday at a motel in the small town of Kingdom City, about 25 miles east of Columbia.
The 37-year-old Indianapolis man was wanted on felony warrants for bank robbery, burglary, armed robbery and receiving stolen property. Authorities think he robbed banks in Illinois, Kentucky, North and South Carolina and Tennessee.
Scaffner was named a suspect in the robberies after bank surveillance photos from holdups dating to May were flashed on electronic billboards across the South.
