Former first lady Betty Ford dies

Former first lady Betty Ford has died at age 93, a family friend says. Ford was a co-founder of the addiction-treatment center in California that bears her name.

Security details for several city public officials -- including Ald. Ed Burke -- will be reduced or eliminated, the Chicago Police Department said tonight.

A former director of Burr Oak Cemetery was sentenced to 12 years in prison this morning after she pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from "bogus graves" found on the burial grounds in south suburban Alsip.
