THE BIG STORIES
Space Case
What a difference a few monthsd can make. Astronaut Lisa Nowak was aboard a space shuttle last July. Earlier this week, she was arrested for driving 900 miles from Texas to Florida to get revenge. She's been charged with attempted murder for plotting to kill a woman who was vying for the affections of an astronaut she wanted to be with. Police searched her car and found a knife, pepper spray, a disguise and diapers. She told police she urinated in the diapers during the long drive to Florida so she wouldn't have to stop driving. The bizarre story spawned all sorts of creative headlines like, "Dark Side of the Loon." Nowak has posted bail and has returned home to Texas.
Anna Nicole Dies
Lisa Nowak would have been the big story of the week, until Thursday when we learned Anna Nicole Smith had died just five months after her 20-year-old son died. The cable networks did wall to wall coverage on the story, prompting some to ask the question if this was really a serious news story. An autopsy performed Friday did not determine a cause of death. Now, a battling is brewing about who the father of her infant daughter is.
