KEY WEST, Fla. (July 19, 8:10 am ADT) - In a dispute fitting of an Ernest Hemingway novel, two bars in the hard-drinking author's former home are fighting over rights to use the name of his old watering hole.
But this bar brawl is taking place in court.
Sloppy Joe's Bar and Captain Tony's Saloon are half a block from each other in Key West, and both claim Hemingway used to drink there.

Carter, Gorbachev, others file brief with high court
Jimmy Carter, Mikhail Gorbachev, the American Medical Association and 48 nations are among those who lobbied the Supreme Court Monday to end the execution of killers who committed their crimes before age 18.
The United States executed more young killers than the rest of the world combined between 1990 and 2003, the diplomats’ filing said.
In the past four years, only five nations have executed juveniles, the diplomats said: Congo, China, Iran, Pakistan and the United States.

THE BOOB-ONIC PLAGUE!
Mysterious new disease turns big-breasted babes into flat-chested females
LOS ANGELES -- Chesty swimsuit models and Hollywood starlets are running scared -- because of a new disease that whittles large breasts down into teensy nubs not much bigger than mosquito bites!
Spider-Man 2 star Kirsten Dunst ordered video game designers to tone down the animated version of her character Mary Jane - because they gave her over-inflated breasts.
The actress was asked to give her approval for the sequel's new merchandise and had to chastise the game's saucy creators.
She says: "I got to approve the video game, the way she looks. They made her boobs gigantic. I was like, 'Tone down the boobs, please!" It was a little ridiculous."

Report: Bigger breasts offered as perk to soldiers

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- The U.S. Army has long lured recruits with the slogan "Be All You Can Be," but now soldiers and their families can receive plastic surgery, including breast enlargements, on the taxpayers' dime.
The New Yorker magazine reports in its July 26th edition that members of all four branches of the U.S. military can get face-lifts, breast enlargements, liposuction and nose jobs for free -- something the military says helps surgeons practice their skills.
"Anyone wearing a uniform is eligible," Dr. Bob Lyons, chief of plastic surgery at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio told the magazine, which said soldiers needed the approval of their commanding officers to get the time off.
Between 2000 and 2003, military doctors performed 496 breast enlargements and 1,361 liposuction surgeries on soldiers and their dependents, the magazine said.
The magazine quoted an Army spokeswoman as saying, "the surgeons have to have someone to practice on."

U.S. troops buying own armor for Iraq duty
(AP) -- Soldiers headed for Iraq are still buying their own body armor -- and in many cases, their families are buying it for them -- 。。。
Dan Britt paid about $1,400 for body armor for his son, a medic stationed in Kuwait who had orders to move into Baghdad. He recently heard his son received it.
“They do have many individuals in influential positions. And that's why this is something that we need to know about.”
