Sheehan is among 12 human rights and anti-war activists who will travel across this Caribbean island next week, arriving at the main gate of the Guantanamo base in eastern Cuba on Thursday five years after the first prisoners were flown in. “Anyone who knows me knows that I am not afraid of anything,” Sheehan said when asked about the possibility of U.S. sanctions for traveling to Communist-run Cuba, which remains under an American trade embargo. “What is more important is the inhumanity that my gov ernment is perpetrating at Guantanamo,” she told Wi WY TOP STORIES FROM AROUND lilt; VV lit; THE STATE, NATION AND WORLD intention for the relentless and open-ended bid to crush militant fighters bedeviling Baghdad.

Associated Press NEWS OF THE WEIRD Book returned 47 years overdue HANCOCK, Mich. Robert Nuranen handed the local librarian a book he’d checked out for a ninth-grade assign ment along with a check for 47 years’ worth of late fees. Nuranen said his mother misplaced the copy of “Prince of Egypt” while cleaning the house. The family came across it every so often, only to set it aside again. He found it last week while looking through a box in the attic. "I figured I’d better get it in before we waited another 10 years,” he said after turning it in Friday with the $171.32 check. “Fifty-seven years would be embarrass ing.” The book, with its last due date stamped June 2, 1960, was part of the young Nuranen’s fascination with Egypt. He went on to visit that country and 54 others, and all 50 states, he said, but he never did finish the book. Nuranen now lives in Los Angeles, where he teaches seventh-grade social studies and lan guage arts. The library had long ago lost any record of the book, librarian Sue Zubiena said. “I’m going to use it as an example," she said. “It’s never too late to return your books." Associated Press
