WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Charles Manson, whose cult
slayings horrified world, dies
LOS ANGELES — In the summer of 1969, a scruffy ex-con-
vict with a magnetic hold on young women sent some of his
disciples into the night to carry out a series of
gruesome killings in Los Angeles. In so doing,
Charles Manson became the leering face of evil
on front pages across America and rewrote the
history of an era.
Manson, the hippie cult leader who died of
natural causes Sunday at age 83 after nearly half
a century behind bars, orchestrated the slayings
Charles
of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and six other
Manson
people, butchered at two homes on successive
August nights by intruders who scrawled “Pigs”
and “Healter Skelter” (sic) in the victims’ blood.
The slaughter horrified the world. To many, the collateral
damage included the era of peace, love and flower power.
The Manson Family killings, along with the bloodshed later
that year during a Rolling Stones concert at California’s Altamont
Speedway, seemed to expose the violent and drug-riddled under-
side of the counterculture and sent a shiver of fear through
America.
“Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties
ended abruptly on August 9, 1969,” author Joan Didion wrote in
her 1979 book “The White Album.”
White House: Trump not
stumping for Moore due to
discomfort with bid
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump isn’t campaign-
ing for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore because of “dis-
comfort” with the sexual misconduct allegations made by sev-
eral women, but isn’t calling on the controversial judge to drop
out of the race because the state’s voters should decide, the White
House says.
Ultimately, Trump doesn’t know who to believe following
decades-old allegations made one month before the Dec. 12 elec-
tion, according to his aides.
One Republican senator urged Alabama voters to reject Moore
in the special election even if that could mean ceding the seat to a
Democrat and narrowing the GOP’s 52-48 Senate edge. A second
GOP lawmaker suggested there was “a strong possibility” that
a write-in candidate — “a proven conservative” — could win,
though no name was mentioned.
“We are uncomfortable with the explanations that Roy Moore
has given to date,” said White House legislative director Marc
Short. Speaking of Trump’s position, Short said: “Obviously if
he did not believe that the women’s accusations were credible, he
would be down campaigning for Roy Moore.”
Still, Short added the “38-year-old allegations” were virtually
unprovable. “At this point, we think he has been a public figure
in Alabama for decades, and the people of Alabama will make the
decision, not the president, not the leader of the Senate, not mem-
bers in Congress.”
Trump says US will declare North
2nd woman accuses Sen. Al
Korea a state sponsor of terror
Franken of improper conduct
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced
today that the U.S. will designate North Korea as a state spon-
sor of terror amid heightened nuclear tensions on the Korean
peninsula.
Trump said the designation will impose further penalties on
the country. He called it a long overdue step and part of the U.S.
“maximum pressure campaign” against the North. North Korea
would join Iran, Sudan and Syria on the list of state sponsors of
terror.
“In addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation,
North Korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terror-
ism including assassinations on foreign soil,” Trump said during
a Cabinet meeting.
U.S. officials cited the killing of North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un’s estranged half brother in a Malaysian airport in Febru-
ary as an act of terrorism.
The designation had been debated for months inside the
administration, with some officials at the State Department argu-
ing that North Korea did not meet the legal standard to be relisted
as a state sponsor of terrorism.
U.S. officials involved in the internal deliberations said there
was no debate over whether the slaying of half-brother Kim
Jong Nam was a terrorist act. However, lawyers said there had
to be more than one incident, and there was disagreement over
whether the treatment of American student Otto Warmbier, who
died of injuries suffered in North Korean custody, constituted
terrorism.
White House open to striking
health provision from tax bill
WASHINGTON — The White House says it’s willing to
strike a health-care provision from Senate legislation to cut taxes
and overhaul the tax code if the provision becomes an impedi-
ment to passing one of President Donald Trump’s top legislative
priorities.
The provision would repeal a requirement that everyone in
the U.S. have health insurance or pay a fine, but has emerged as a
major sticking point for Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine,
whose vote the White House needs. Collins said Sunday that the
issue should be dealt with separately.
Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney, said the White
House is open to scrapping the provision. Trump had pressed for
the provision to be added to the bill, partly to show progress on
the GOP goal of undoing the health care law following Congress’
failed attempts to repeal it earlier this year.
“I don’t think anybody doubts where the White House is on
repealing and replacing Obamacare. We absolutely want to do it,”
Mulvaney said Sunday. “If we can repeal part of Obamacare as
part of a tax bill and have a tax bill that is still a good tax bill that
can pass, that’s great.
“If it becomes an impediment to getting the best tax bill we
can, then we’re OK with taking it out,” Mulvaney added.
WASHINGTON — A second woman has accused Minnesota
Sen. Al Franken of improper conduct, saying he put his hand on
her bottom as they posed for a picture at the Minnesota State Fair
in 2010 — after he had begun his career in the Senate.
Lindsay Menz told CNN last week for a report broadcast today
that the interaction made her feel “gross.” She said she immedi-
ately told her husband that Franken had “grabbed” her bottom,

6 PM
The 2017 American Music Awards marked a night of uni-
son, positive vibes and American pride as musicians spoke about
coming together in a year dominated by natural disasters, vio-
lence and divisive politics.
Kelly Clarkson and Pink kicked off the three-hour show Sun-
day with a performance honoring those affected by tragic events
of the year, from hurricanes to hate crimes. First responders stood
behind Jamie Foxx, who gave a heartfelt speech before the pop
stars sang R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts.”
This year “was a year that tested our faith. In these moments
of crisis, heroes emerged,” he said. “As this year comes to a close,
we look forward to 2018 with hope ... together we can unite as a
people and a nation.”
“Black-ish” actress Tracee Ellis Ross said the show — taking
place in the wake of multiple sexual allegations against power-
ful men in Hollywood, the media, business and politics — would
honor women who “own our experiences, our bodies and our
lives.”
“This is the country I know, which is of powerful women,
talking about our women, talking about empowering our LGBTQ
youth,” said Dan Reynolds of the band Imagine Dragons, which
won favorite pop/rock duo or group. “May we continue to prog-
ress as a nation as one of love and equality. No divide. There’s
been way too much of that this last year.”

and she said she posted about it on Facebook.
Menz’s allegation comes days after a Los Angeles broad-
caster, Leeann Tweeden, accused Franken of forcibly kissing her
during a 2006 USO tour. Franken already faced a Senate ethics
investigation over Tweeden’s allegation, but the Menz allegation
is potentially more damaging for Franken because it would be
behavior that occurred while he was in office.
Franken, a Democrat, told CNN he didn’t remember taking
the photo with Menz, but said in a statement to the network that
he feels badly that she felt disrespected.
“I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by
hundreds of people, and I certainly don’t remember taking this
picture,” Franken told CNN. “I feel badly that Ms. Menz came
away from our interaction feeling disrespected.”
