■* The flag was placed there in
, 2000 as part of a compromise that
- removed it from atop the State

the flag, said Dr. Lonnie Randolph
tjr., president of the South Carolina
« state NAACP branch.

Judge in Peterson
murder trial abruptly
sends jurors home
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — In a
surprise move Wednesday, the
judge in Scott Peterson’s murder
trial postponed the cross
examination of Peterson’s former
mistress and sent the jury home
early because of a “potential
development.” Judge Alfred A.
Delucchi emerged from a 45
minute closed-door meeting with
attorneys and apologized for the
delay.
“There’s been a potential
development in this case that has to
be checked out before we can go
any further,” he told the jury.
Groans could be heard in the
packed courtroom.
The judge didn’t say what the
development was. Lawyers are
barred by a gag order from
discussing it.
WORLD
After U.S.-French
squabbles, Yanks
are returning to Paris
PARIS — Maybe “freedom fries”
taste better in France.
After political squabbles over the
Iraq war soured U.S.-French
relations, more American tourists
are visiting Paris this year, tourism
officials say.
Since last year, the diplomatic
antagonism has faded. Experts say
American tourists are growing less
fearful about terrorism. And World
War II anniversaries have injected
new good feeling into U.S.-French
ties.
“The international situation has
allowed an increase in Americans
visiting Europe — and we’ve
benefited,” said the president of the
Paris tourism bureau, Jean-Marc
Janaillac.

“My Sweet Charlie” and

“Her place alongside

cemented long before the actual
ground was broken,”
Mackenzie Astin said.
Duke, who lives with her
Patty Duke earns
Walk of Fame star
LOS ANGELES — Anyone who
grew up watching “The Patty Duke
Show” knows “Patty loves to rock
and roll, a hot dog makes her lose
control.” And now they know that
receiving a star on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame makes the Oscar
winning actress tear up.
An emotional Duke hugged her
sons, actors Sean and.Mackenzie
Astin, at her star’s unveiling
Tuesday in front of Hollywood’s
landmark Roosevelt Hotel. It was a
ceremony Sean Astin called “well
deserved and long overdue.”
Duke, already a Broadway star at
14, won a best supporting actress
Oscar at 16 for portraying Helen
Keller in “The Miracle Worker.” In
1980, she won an Emmy for her
portrayal of Keller’s teacher, Annie
Sullivan, in the TV movie.
She played identical teenage
cousins Patty and Cathy Lane on
the ‘60s comedy “The Patty Duke
Show!”
Duke, 57, also won Emmys for
husband, Mike Pearce, in Idaho,
said she was recently strolling
the Walk of Fame with her 7
year-old grandson when she
told him she had heard a rumor
she might be getting her own
star.
“He said, ‘Oh Nana, people will
remember you!’”
Disappointed Phish
fans to get refund
COVENTRY, Vt. — Fans who were
turned away by police because of
muddy conditions inside the site of
last weekend’s Phish farewell
festival will be offered a refund.
Dave Werlin, president of
concert promoter Great Northeast
Productions, said it troubled him
that people who obeyed police
missed the concert, only to learn
that many other fans reached the
site by parking and walking.
Police decided to turn away
fans after organizers considered
canceling or postponing the show,
and determined that cutting off
cars would be a better choice,
Werlin said this week.
Some 65,000 fans attended.
Werlin said he doesn’t know
how many people were there; a
count of scannable ticket stubs
will eventually give a better
number.
Unredeemed tickets, with the
stub attached, should be sent by
mail to the ticket company from
which they were purchased. People
who didn’t pick up tickets being
held at will-call will automatically
get a full refund.
Lachey confesses
crush for Milano
NEW YORK — He had a crush on
her, but Alyssa Milano doesn’t
mind.
Nick Lachey told “Access
Hollywood” in a recent
interview that he had to tell his
“Charmed” co-star about his
former crush to avoid the
humiliation of having her find
out from someone else.
Lachey plays Milano’s love
interest in an upcoming six-episode
arc on the WB show.
“The first day I came I said,
'I’m just going ... to tell you
right now that your poster was
hanging in my locker. Because
you’re going to hear about it and
I don’t want to be embarrassed
later on.’”
Milano says the feeling is
mutual.
“His eyes are like lavender,” the
31-year-old actress told the
syndicated entertainment TV show.
“I can’t even look at him when I’m
working with him ... Yeah,-he’s
hot.”
The new season of “Charmed”
premieres Sept. 12.
