In brief: From Wire Reports:
SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea and the United States began annual military drills today despite North Korean threats to respond by voiding the armistice that ended the Korean War and launching a nuclear attack on the U.S.
After the start of the drills, South Korean officials said their northern counterparts didn’t answer two calls on a hotline between the sides, apparently following through on an earlier vow to cut the communication channel because of the drills.
Pyongyang has launched a bombast-filled propaganda campaign against the drills, which involve 10,000 South Korean and about 3,000 American troops, and last week’s U.N. vote to impose new sanctions over the North’s Feb. 12 nuclear test. Analysts believe that much of that campaign is meant to shore up loyalty among citizens and the military for North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong Un.
Pyongyang isn’t believed to be able to build a warhead small enough to mount on a long-range missile, and the North’s military has repeatedly vowed in the past to scrap the 1953 armistice. North Korea wants a formal peace treaty, security guarantees and other concessions, as well as the removal of 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea.
Still, South Korean and U.S. officials have been closely monitoring Pyongyang’s actions and parsing the torrent of recent rhetoric from the North, which has been more warlike than usual.
India rape suspect hangs self in prison
NEW DELHI – The main suspect in the gang rape and fatal beating of a woman on a New Delhi bus, an attack that horrified Indians and set off national protests, committed suicide in jail today, officials said.
Ram Singh, who is accused of driving the bus on which a 23-year-old student was raped and fatally assaulted by a group of six men in December, hung himself with his own clothes, a police official at Tihar jail said. Along with four other men on trial with him on rape, murder and abduction charges, Singh was under a suicide watch, the official said. The sixth accused, a juvenile, is being tried and jailed separately.
Wrong-way driver crashes into Subway
An elderly woman mistakenly put her car in drive instead of reverse and drove through the windows and into the Subway restaurant in the Shadle Shopping Center on Sunday.
The restaurant had several employees and some customers inside when the car crashed, pushing tables and chairs up onto the main serving counter inside the restaurant located at 2503 W. Wellesley Ave., Spokane police Officer John Gately said.
Neither the people inside the establishment nor the driver were injured. The case remains under investigation, but the driver was not cited at the scene, Gately said.
“She was leaving. She got confused about which gear and she put it in forward instead of reverse,” Gately said.

Noted black educator Booker T. Washington was the keynote speaker at the Spokane Chamber of Commerce meeting.
Washington told the audience about his famous school at Tuskegee, Ala., and the conditions in that part of the country.
“You people rarely hear the best reports of conditions in the South, but they are improving rapidly and the white people of the South are becoming interested in the upkeep of the schools, as they find that they are making better and more useful citizens of the colored race,” Washington said. “I hope to prove to the world that two races different in color and in their source can live in the same country in perfect harmony and of service to each other.”
