Same-sex marriage opponents rally BOSTON — Hundreds of oppo nents of same-sex marriage gath ered Sunday on Boston Common to show support for a proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

World Saddam’s hidden funds discovered BERN, SWITZERLAND - The United States believes it has found at least $300 million Saddam Hussein hid in banks, yet doesn’t have enough evidence to get coun tries such as Syria and Switzerland to hand over the money, U.S. and European officials said. The funds at stake could go to the Iraqi insurgency or to the country’s reconstruction — de pending on who gets it first. What troubles investigators more is that much of Saddam’s cash may al ready be gone because the weak U.S. intelligence and the slow-mov ing investigation have given sus pects more than enough time to empty accounts and possibly trans fer funds to Iraq’s insurgency.

OutKast won album of the year for “SpeakerBoxxx/The Love Below” in a ceremony televised by CBS on a five-minute delay to avoid anything like Janet Jackson's Super Bowl flesh flash. Despite a tightly scripted show devoid of outrageousness or spon taneity — a marked contrast to to day's pop scene — Jackson's breast-baring at the hands of dance partner Justin Timberiake re mained the major subplot, as CBS and Jackson offered conflicting re ports about why she was not at the show. I know it s been a rough week on everybody,” said Timberlake, stifling a self-deprecating laugh while accepting the best male pop vocal performance award for “Cry Me a River.” He brought his moth er as his date. Vandross won for best song, best R&B album and best male R&B performance for “Dance With My Father”; and best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for “The Closer I Get to You,” a remake he did with Bey once. He was unable to attend, but sent a videotaped message, his first public remarks since his April 2003 stroke. “I wish I could be with you there tonight. I want to thank ev eryone for your love and support,” said a weak-looking Vandross. “And remember, when I say good bye it's never for long, because” and he sang-”I believe in the pow er of love!” Beyonce tied a record for female artists with her five awards, but won none of the top categories of song, record or album of the year. The moody British rock band Coldplay, up against four hip-hop nominees for record of the year, won for their song “Clocks.” Rockers Evanescence won best new artist in an upset over rapper 50 Cent — who briefly walked on V: ' • __Bst PHOTO SPECIAL TO THE GAMECOCK Beyonce wins a record-tying five awards at tie 4. ih annual Grammys.
