LIFE IN PRISON
James “Whitey” Bulger, 84, was sentenced
Thursday to two consecutive life terms plus five
years in prison. He was convicted in August on a
racketeering indictment, which included murder,
extortion, money laundering and weapons charges.
A jury found him guilty of 11 out of 19 murders.
Judge Denise Casper called his crimes “heinous”
and “almost unfathomable.”

A committee announced Tuesday
that after 40 years, Chicago is
no longer home to the country’s
tallest building. It ruled that
New York City’s 1,776-foot One
World Trade Center is taller than
Chicago’s 1,451-foot Willis
Tower. In dispute was the 408foot spire atop One World Trade
Center, which some argued was
a broadcast antenna and not
actually part of the building.
