It happened yesterday at the Lewis Gale Clinic in Salem. Bedrosian says two small, extremely rowdy children were running in the waiting room. He was holding his 4 month old daughter, when he says one of the children rushed by, narrowly missing his child, and upsetting a jar of candy.

Bedrosian says the child mother became upset and he apologized, and thought that was the end of it. Until he recieved a summons, charging him with assault and battery.

Bedrosian's political career came out of nowhere two year's ago, and his firm, conservative message almost beat incumbent Dick Cranwell in the last election....

These two new born snow leopards were even a surprise to the zoo keepers who didn't know the mother was pregnant. These endangered creatures named Genghis and Kali are sure to please any animal lover. The keepers say they're just like any baby that needs to be loved and taken care of.
