Lawyers for the state defended Maryland's new General Assembly districts Wednesday, telling Maryland's highest judges that while the map may not please everyone, it's legal and proper. "Somebody can always draw a better map. That's not the issue," Assistant Attorney General Dan Friedman told the Court of Appeals, as he argued against three challenges to the redistricting map. "The issue is whether this map is constitutional. " Among those challenging the plan are two Democratic state senators from Baltimore County, who asked the judges to throw out the plan created by Gov. Martin O'Malley and General Assembly leaders and tell them to try again.

Two Baltimore County senators, unhappy with their new districts under the governor's General Assembly redistricting plan, have sued to have the map overturned, contending that it gives Baltimore City extra representation at the expense of the county. Sens. Delores Kelley and James Brochin, both Democrats, asked the Maryland Court of Appeals to invalidate the redistricting plan, which automatically took effect this year when the legislature did not move to replace Gov. Martin O'Malley's plan with one of its own. The plan is especially disadvantageous for Brochin, whose district would become heavily Republican under the plan devised by O'Malley and legislative leaders.

Charm City gets plenty of face time in Kitty Kelley's "Oprah," the unauthorized biography of Oprah Winfrey. In fact, "Baltimore" is the seventh word in Kelley's book, appearing well before "Hollywood," "talk show," "book club" or even "successful" (but after "Chicago," Winfrey's base of operations for the past 26 years). Released in bookstores today, "Oprah" follows Winfrey from her hardscrabble beginnings in Mississippi (while quoting relatives who insist her youth wasn't nearly as impoverished as she's made it sound)
