 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 
that her one-time tenant may have a problem with alcohol. I'm just 
disappointed a family friend of over 40 years has lied.It's a shame

in journalism. She was one of the first female reporters to break 
out of the White House "women's beat" -- the soft stories about 
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
