MUST READS FROM ALL OVER
EXCLUSIVE
1. Congress' Jetset Hypocrites
With America's economy in the gutter, lawmakers pledge to cut back -
except, apparently, when it comes to fancy trips around the globe at the
expense of taxpayers and special interests. Since January, legislators
have taken more than 200 trips financed by private groups, costing more
than $1 million, The Daily Beast's Laura Colarusso reports - double the
amount spent during the first five months of 2010.

SCANDALS
2. Weiner Said to Mull Resignation
The Democratic Party leadership may have gotten through to Rep. Anthony
Weiner: The disgraced congressman is considering handing in his
resignation, a "source close to the congressman" tells the New York
Daily News. TMZ released new semi-nude photos of Weiner in the
congressional gym, over the weekend, and the House Democrats' number
two, Steny Hoyer, joined Nancy Pelosi, in calling for his resignation.
The Daily News' source says Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, is encouraging
him to stay in Congress.

CONFRONTATION
3. U.S. Turns Back N. Korean Ship: Report
Two weeks ago, the United States Navy blocked a North Korean ship from
delivering suspected missile technology to Myanmar. The U.S. intercepted
the ship near Shanghai and asked four times to board before finally
getting permission; the standoff lasted several days. A similar
confrontation earned much more media attention two years ago. Last year,
a similar suspected shipment made it from North Korea to Myanmar.

BASKETBALL
4. Dallas Mavericks Win NBA Finals
The Dallas Mavericks won their first NBA title on Sunday night in a
close game (105-95) with the Miami Heat - and on the Heat's home floor.
It was an act of revenge for the Mavericks, who lost to the Heat in the
2006 finals. "Tonight, we got vindication," said Mavericks guard Jason
Terry, who scored 27 points in the final game. The Mavericks won four of
the series' last five games. It was a tough loss for the Heat,
particularly for Miami's secret weapon, LeBron James. After a stellar
season with 72 total wins for his team, James has yet to win an NBA
title.

5. GOP Candidates Set for Debate
The top GOP presidential contenders sat out last month's first
Republican presidential debate, but they'll duke it out Monday night at
the next debate in Manchester, New Hampshire. Mitt Romney, Michele
Bachmann, and Newt Gingrich - all of whom skipped last month's debate -
will be among the seven presidential candidates to take the stage,
joining Tim Pawlenty, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, and Ron Paul. Notably
absent still is John Huntsman, who is expected to formally declare his
candidacy soon.
