Sachs suggests you say something like: "I have some not-so-great news to share with you, but I think you're old enough that I can be truthful.

Former Maryland State Police Superintendent Thomas E. "Tim" Hutchins defended yesterday the surveillance and infiltration of protest groups under his watch, saying investigators needed to gather information to prepare for potentially "volatile" demonstrations planned around executions of death row inmates. In his most extensive remarks since revelations of the spying operations in 2005 and 2006, Hutchins said at a legislative hearing that troopers attended open meetings of protest groups and were not required to announce who they were or show their badges.

Gov. Martin O'Malley announced yesterday that former Maryland Attorney General Stephen H. Sachs will head an independent review of state police efforts to infiltrate and monitor activist groups opposed to the death penalty and the Iraq war. The announcement comes days after lawmakers in Annapolis and on Capitol Hill called for hearings or inquiries into the matter. O'Malley said he took the step to get a "fresh view" of the state police activities that took place during the previous administration and to give the public assurance that the surveillance has been thoroughly investigated.

Real estate downturns aside, 90210 is still a very good ZIP code. Slated to premiere Sept. 2, the CW's new version of the Aaron Spelling classic has dominated the entertainment press this pilot season like few other new television shows. Of course, TV fans have been hungry to learn who will be cast as the new clique of rich kids, but they seem even more interested in which of the old characters who left the prime-time schedule eight years ago might be stopping by West Beverly High or the Peach Pit. It's a challenge that executive producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah (Freaks and Geeks)

Seems like you'd need special legal authority and uncommon nerve to dupe William Donald Schaefer into moving to a retirement home. But it looks like Lainy LeBow-Sachs only had nerve. The longtime Schaefer aide got him out of his Pasadena townhouse last month on the pretense of a Petit Louis lunch so movers could take his furniture and belongings to the Charlestown Retirement Community. At the time, LeBow-Sachs said she was authorized to move the 86-year-old political icon - against his will - because he had granted her power of attorney.

A bunch of guys loaded the contents of William Donald Schaefer's Pasadena townhouse into a truck the other day while he lunched, unsuspecting, at Petit Louis in Roland Park. The former mayor, governor and comptroller was moving, only he didn't know it. A longtime aide with power of attorney had been pushing for him to move to Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville for a long time. And the famously cantankerous politician had been pushing right back. "I wasn't ready to move," Schaefer, 86, said yesterday, recalling how the aide initially sent movers to his house three weeks ago, not long after a fall at home required a trip to the emergency room and stitches.

Just like scoping out the perfect shot, professional photographers Joseph and Anne Sachs allowed themselves time to find exactly what they wanted in a home. Having rented for many years in Baltimore's Roland Park neighborhood, they were seeking something with similar ambience.

"A classic-style house, with hardwood floors, high ceilings and a fireplace." What they eventually found was a three-story red brick Georgian-style townhouse on Newland Road in the southeast corner of the city's Guilford neighborhood.
