Cheat Sheet - A Real ‘Downton’ Affair

The Cheat Sheet

Today: 7 Men Rape Woman on Bus in India , Obama Wants Immigration Overhaul , Court Orders Mubarak Retrial
Cheat Sheet: Morning

January 13, 2013
SOAP OPERA

Margaret Powell was a servant to the Wardhams at its Redlands estate when her friend Rose, the beautiful under-parlor maid, eloped with the family’s only son, Master Gerald. In Servants’ Hall, Powell recounts the true story of the romance with her signature wit and humor.

NOT AGAIN

Indian police say that a woman was gang raped by seven men over the weekend after she boarded a bus on Friday night. Police have arrested six of the men and are searching for the seventh. The 29-year-old woman boarded a bus in Gurdaspur district in Punjab, but the bus sped past her stop. The bus driver and his helper than took her to an undisclosed location, where five other men joined and raped her through the night. They dropped her off in her village the next day. The victim said, “They threatened me with a sharp edged weapon and did wrong things with me. They kept me confined all through the night and forced me to do what they want.”

FORWARD

President Obama will push Congress for an overhaul of the immigration system in the coming months. Obama and Senate Democrats plan to propose one large, comprehensive bill, despite efforts by some Republicans to break the overhaul into smaller pieces. The bill would include a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country and the president will oppose measures that did not allow immigrants who attain legal status to become American citizens one day. The legislation could be introduced as early as March with a Senate vote to be held before August.

TRY, TRY AGAIN

Former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak will be retried, after a court granted his appeal of his life sentence on charges that he failed to prevent the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising. Habib el-Adly, Mubarak’s security chief, who is also serving a life sentence on the same charges, will also be retried. No date has been set for either retrial. But Mubarak isn’t out of the woods yet. Prosecutors placed a new detention hold on Mubarak while they investigate allegations he received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Egypt’s top newspapers as a show of loyalty during his regime.

MISS AMERICA

The 92-year-old competition has struggled to reclaim its significance, but enthusiasm for a handful of inspiring contestants—one with autism, another bravely taking on breast cancer—prove that the pageant is far from dead, writes Kevin Fallon.
