Wolf

The Court of Special Appeals has unanimously decided that a Howard County prosecutor's plea agreement with an accomplice in the 1990 murder of a state trooper must be upheld, allowing him to go free by 2006.The office of the Maryland attorney general appealed the 1991 agreement with Francisco Rodriguez, saying he obtained the deal using fraudulent information. Additional data in the shooting death of Cpl. Theodore Wolf might have led Howard County Circuit Judge Raymond J. Kane to reject the agreement in an August 1997 appeal, the office said.

The Carroll County Board of Zoning Appeals is losing its most outspoken member, Hobart D. "Hoby" Wolf, who announced his resignation yesterday.In his nearly three-year tenure, the 75-year-old Eldersburg resident has added sarcasm and humor to the usually staid land-use panel, often interrupting testimony for an aside."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. The evening started off with a chat about clothes. Or was it costumes?Warren Beatty, actor and activist, arrived at the Kennedy School of Government in an L.A. laid-back sweater and jacket."

The evening before the ceremony, Edwin Wolf couldn't sleep.Memories he preferred to ignore stirred all night: guiding a boat into the flash of gunfire, gray waves tossing drowned boys, German mines sticking up in the sand, the sting of sulfur on his face.The ghostly trace of voices, smells, panic of June 6, 1944, returned.At 92, Lt. Col. Edwin J. Wolf again raced down Omaha Beach -- and found himself awake in his Roland Park home, a retired lawyer, not a soldier. He felt sick, shaken.A recent letter from the Army said it had misplaced the paperwork for the medal he should have received 55 years ago. Yesterday, at a small ceremony at Fort Meade, the Army finally awarded him the Bronze Star for valor.

County commissioners were warned nearly six months ago that planning commission member Grant S. Dannelly supported rerouting a road through his property, but the board did nothing to investigate the possible conflict of interest until this month, a county official says.In a letter sent in March, Board of Zoning Appeals member Hoby Wolf informed the three commissioners that Dannelly owned the small parcel that lies in the path of the proposed relocation of Ridge Road in South Carroll.Dannelly supported the proposal during workshops on the Freedom Area Comprehensive Plan, a blueprint for development in the county's most populous area.

ONE OF the laws of politics is that some candidates are snake-bit. Just when things seem to be going well, something causes a problem.So there is a temptation to feel some sympathy for Vice President Al Gore right now. Just when he seemed to be getting his campaign on track the world has learned that he has a guru who is ostensibly teaching him to be an Alpha dog rather than a Beta dog. Ye gods.But before wasting any sympathy on Mr. Gore, you have to consider the facts of the case. He is, after all, the candidate who hired author Naomi Wolf to advise him on matters as diverse as his dress (she recommended those "earth tone" suits he now wears)

End of the line for RipkenHow much longer are we Orioles fans going to have to watch Cal Ripken at third base? He can no longer do the job that he is paid to do. If any other player on the team played like he does, he would surely be on the bench.Opening Day was the biggest joke of all. There was absolutely no justification for starting Ripken. This was just another form of his selfishness, and unwillingness to let the spotlight shine on someone else. Your back doesn't stiffen up in two innings.

Christopher Buckley's dark satire Boomsday imagines a Social Security crisis that pits the generations against each other, and a public relations campaign to persuade older Americans to do the "right" thing and check out early. There are even financial incentives and free Botox if you schedule your suicide. But what if, in such a world, it were the women - the always dutiful women - who felt the pull of responsibility most strongly and signed up first? That is exactly what Susan Wolf, a bioethicist at the University of Minnesota and an opponent of physician-assisted suicide, fears.

WASHINGTON -- Freelance videographer Josh Wolf defied in July a federal grand jury's order to hand over raw footage of anarchists clashing with police in San Francisco. He said he was protected by the First Amendment. A federal judge said he was in contempt of court. On Aug. 1, the 24-year-old blogger reported to the federal detention facility in Dublin, Calif., and has been there since - except for a brief period in September. As of Tuesday, he had been incarcerated longer than any journalist in modern U.S. history.

Bonny Wolf is an inveterate apron wearer. She wore one during the 1970s when it was deemed politically incorrect. "When women began to spend less time at home and more time at the office, the kitchen apron became an emotionally charged symbol, a reminder of female drudgery," she says. She tied an apron around her waist anyway. She couldn't stop. "Putting on an apron," she says, gets her "into my cooking zone" and Wolf likes to cook. "For me, putting on an apron has always been empowering," she says.
