Kristol to leave ABC 's 'This Week'
Conservative commentator William Kristol will leave ABC's struggling "This Week" as a first step in rebuilding the Sunday morning show, the network said.
Kristol, who also works for the Weekly Standard magazine, has been a panelist on "This Week" for three years. His ABC contract ends Jan. 1.
This is the first change in the troubled broadcast since executive producer Dorrance Smith quit in September. Smith had been the original producer of "This Week" when it premiered in 1981 with David Brinkley as moderator, livening up the then-staid Sunday morning scene.
"This Week" was the Sunday news leader for years. But since Brinkley gave up the hosting reins to Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts in 1997, the program has lost one-fourth of its audience, trailing badly NBC's resurgent "Meet the Press."
Angels adorn tree by JonBenet grave
The dogwood tree next to JonBenet Ramsey's grave has been decorated with angels and ornaments left in tribute to the 6-year-old found dead the day after Christmas nearly three years ago.
"It's just surprising what people leave," said James Ray, a board member at St. James Episcopal Church, which maintains the cemetery in Marietta, Ga. "It's nice."
While people leave keepsakes at the grave year-round, the gifts -- including letters and teddy bears -- pile up during Christmas, Ray said.
This year, more than 100 ornaments -- some as high as 15 feet from the ground -- hang from the tree.
No one has been arrested in the girl's death.
Miss America is Kentuckian of Year
Miss America Heather French added a jewel to her crown with the title of Kentuckian of the Year, chosen by a panel for Kentucky Monthly magazine.
She is on the cover of the December issue, on newsstands Monday.
"She was nominated quite heavily -- mostly for her platform on homeless veterans," publisher and editor Steve Vest said. French was picked by a board made up of college professors, historians, "a wide mix of people," he said.
French, 24, of Maysville, called the honor "above and beyond" anything she imagined.
"I was amazed," she said.
