In Brief
ARIZONA CASE
Federal officials ask judge to order sheriff to cooperate
The Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Arizona to force Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office to provide full and immediate access to records and facilities for a civil-rights investigation without going to trial.
The motion for summary judgment filed Monday also asks the court to force the sheriff's office to comply with all future requests involving the probe.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department filed an unprecedented lawsuit against Arpaio's office for refusing to turn over documents or allow federal officials to evaluate jails and interview staff.
The sheriff's office has challenged whether the Justice Department is entitled to everything it has requested, such as records on booking procedures, language services and arrests.
STOPPED ON ROAD
Good Samaritan, driver killed in California freeway crash
San Mateo, Calif., authorities say a car crash victim and a good Samaritan who stopped to help her died when struck by several cars on a Northern California freeway.
The San Mateo County coroner's office says 39-year-old Stacy White and 26-year-old Steven Pereira were killed around 3 a.m. Sunday.
California Highway Patrol officials said White was believed to have been under the influence of alcohol while driving north in the southbound lane of Highway 101.
The CHP reported that White stopped her car and got out, and Pereira stopped to help. A limousine struck them, knocking them into the northbound lanes where they were hit.
NEUTRAL LOCATION
College site of free speech forum after controversies
Presenters at a University of Wyoming forum in Laramie about free speech issues say public colleges must be neutral in allowing controversial speakers and their ideas on campus.
Free speech issues were raised at UW in the wake of recent campus visits by former Vice President Dick Cheney and 1960s radical Bill Ayers.
A group of people opposed to Cheney's conservative views attempted to interrupt his speech last fall, while the university tried to stop Ayers from speaking last spring when many people objected to his radical past.
