A Pennsylvania man will soon stand trial for raiding asecret stash of
historic hooch, a100-proof-plus cache of pre-Prohibition whiskey valued
by one expert at more than $100,000.John Saunders allegedly belted back
50-or-so of the 104 total bottles Old Farm Pure Rye Whiskey that
were, until recently, surreptitiously stowed behind a stairwell leading
to his Scottdale, Pa., basement apartment.Saunders, who, according to his
former landlord, was supposed to safeguard the whiskey, denies having touched
the spirits.However, court-ordered genetic samples furnished by Saunders
matched the whiskeys unique profile, according to WTAE 4, which first reported
the story.The 62-year-old was subsequently charged by authorities with felony
theft, as well as receiving stolen property.- Patricia Hill"The DNA doesn't
lie, Patricia Hill, Saunders ex-landlord, told the station while hinting

presidents' kids, wives, their teas and their hairdos -- and cover the
hard news on an equal footing with men.She was also the first
female member of the Gridiron Club, and at one time served as
the club's president.Thomas will be buried in Detroit, and a memorial service
is planned in Washington in October, according to her family.She became
the first female White House bureau chief for a wire service when
UPI named her to the position in 1974. She was also the
first female officer at the National Press Club, where women had once
been barred as members and she had to fight for admission into
the 1959 luncheon speech where Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev warned:
"We will bury you."The belligerent Khrushchev was an unlikely ally in one
sense. He had refused to speak at any Washington venue that excluded
women, she said.Thomas fought, too, for a more open presidency, resisting
all moves by a succession of administrations to restrict press access."People
will never know how hard it is to get information," Thomas told
an interviewer, "especially if it's locked up behind official doors where,
