Cheat Sheet - The Coal Baron’s Downfall

Today: Pakistan Votes in Historic Election , West Wing Evacuated Due to Smoke , Man in Trenton Holding Children Hostage May 11, 2013 EPIC 1. The Coal Baron's Downfall Donald Blankenship was the most powerful coal mogul in America, but he could soon be indicted, thanks to 14 years of work by two Pittsburgh lawyers. By Laurence Leamer, the author of the new book The Price of Justice. Read it at The Daily Beast For the Ages 2. Pakistan Votes in Historic Election Polls opened in Pakistan on Saturday for its first transition between civilian governments in its 66-year history. Lines grew so long that voting was extended by one hour throughout the country. But doubts about the election's potential success linger, and violence at political offices and polling stations has occurred (in the day's worst incident, 11 people were killed in a bombing in Karachi). The attacks appear to be the culmination of Pakistan's ongoing violence in the days leading up to the election, during which more than 100 people were killed. Troops were deployed to polling sites to prevent suicide attacks threatened by the Taliban. Read it at BBC News False Alarm 3. West Wing Evacuated Due to Smoke It was a scary day at the White House on Saturday—for about five minutes. Reports of smoke emanating from the West Wing, including the press area, led to a brief evacuation. Five fire trucks reported to the scene as authorities exercised "an abundance of caution" investigating a mechanical closet that was the source of the smoke. The culprit? An overheated piece of equipment. Oh, well. You can never be too careful. Read it at CNN Breaking 4.
