Red Bluff police re- sponded about 5 p.m. Oct. 15 to the 700 block of South Jackson Street, where they found McDarment, who was 33, lying unrespon- sive on the ground. Mc D a r m e n t h a d stopped breathing after of- ficers arrived, and he was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Redding where he was placed on life sup- port.

Sentenced FROM PAGE 1 By Rahim Faiez The Associated Press KABUL, AFGHANISTAN Bombings across Afghan- istan killed two NATO troops and six civilians Monday, authorities said, as the death toll in the country's deadliest insur- gent attack this year rose to at least 50. The attacks, including Sunday's mass killing by a suicide bomber at a vol- leyball tournament, come amid a renewed Taliban offensive as foreign troops begin to withdraw from the country. In a statement, NATO said the troops had been killed by an "enemy attack in eastern Afghanistan." It did not identify the nation- alities of dead, as the coali- tion waits for their home countries to make the an- nouncement. A spokesman for Ka- bul's police chief, Hashmat Stanekzai, said the troops were killed when a bomb attached to a bicycle ex- ploded near a foreign mil- itary convoy in the eastern part of the capital Monday morning. He said the blast wounded one Afghan civil- ian. A total of 63 NATO troops have been killed this year, 46 of them Amer- icans. Another bomb attached to a motorcycle exploded later Monday in a crowded market in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz prov- ince, killing six people and wounding at least five, po- lice spokesman Sarwar Hussaini said. No group claimed re- sponsibility for either at- tack Monday. Insurgents have stepped up their assaults against Afghan security forces in a bid to undermine the West- ern-backed Kabul govern- ment of President Ashraf Ghani. The insurgents' deadli- est attack this year, the vol- leyball tournament bomb- ing Sunday in Paktika province bordering Paki- stan, killed at least 50 peo- ple, said Mokhlis Afghan, a spokesman for the provin- cial governor. He said au- thorities were still trying to determine an accurate death toll Monday. The suicide bomber detonated explosives as he mingled with the large crowd there, causing the many casualties. TERROR ATTACK Af gh an b om bi ng s kill 2 NATO troops, 6 civilians By John Rogers Associated Press LOS ANGELES When a letter cred- ited with inspiring Jack Kerouac to create a new literary genre suddenly surfaced, no one was happier than an 86-year-old poet and playwright from New Jersey. For more than 50 years, Gerd Stern had been wrongly accused of tossing what Kerouac called "the greatest piece of writing I ever saw" over the side of a houseboat. "Yes, I'm the guy who dropped the letter off the boat, but of course I didn't," Stern, laughing heartily, said after The Associated Press reported Sunday that the 16,000-word screed to Kerouac from his friend and liter- ary muse Neal Cassady was found in- tact last week in a house in Oakland. "At least 12 literary publications through the years have accused me," Stern said. "People have written to me and damned me for this. After 50 years, it's a blessing to be vindicated." Cassady, who wrote the letter over three amphetamine-fueled days in 1950, sent it to Kerouac just before Christmas. After he read it, Kerouac would say later, he scrapped an early draft of "On The Road" and rewrote it in a similar stream-of-consciousness style. The result was a literary classic and a new style of prose called Beat lit- erature. If Stern hadn't dropped the letter off that boat, Kerouac told The Paris Review in 1968, the writing would have transformed his car-stealing, marijuana-dealing, con-man friend Cassady into a literary giant. Stern said Monday that Beat poet and Kerouac friend Allen Ginsberg sent him the letter sometime in the 1950s, hoping he could get it pub- lished by Ace Books, for which Stern was a literary agent. "It was part of a stash of about two and a half feet of books and manu- scripts that Allen had collected from all of his buddies," he said, adding he sent them all back but one — William S. Burroughs' novel "Junky," which was published. "Soon thereafter Allen started that rumor," he said about the account that he had thrown the letter overboard. What really happened? Ginsberg sent the letter to Richard Emerson at Golden Goose Press and he didn't bother to read it. When Emerson folded Golden Goose, he gave his archives, includ- ing the still-unopened letter, to a busi- ness associate who took the material home. There it stayed until Los Angeles performance artist Jean Spinosa was cleaning out her late father's house two years ago. The auction house Pro- files in History is putting the archive up for sale on Dec. 17. Only one question remains: Why did Ginsberg say Stern tossed the letter? "At the best he forgot that I gave it to him," Stern said. "At the worst he said it just to stick it to me. "But it doesn't matter now," he added with a chuckle. "Allen's dead. Jack's dead. Neal's dead. But I'm still alive."

The Associated Press VATICAN CITY Pope Fran- cis and the Egyptian pres- ident exchanged warm greetings during a private meeting Monday in which the pontiff emphasized Egypt's role in establishing peace in the Middle East. Francis and Abdel-Fat- tah el-Sissi met for about 20 minutes at the Vatican on el-Sissi's first visit to Europe since taking office in June. Francis shook el- Sissi's hands, declaring his happiness at meeting the Egyptian leader, while el- Sissi expressed through a translator his pleasure at meeting "the great man that you are." The two men also ex- changed gifts: A papal me- dallion and a papal docu- ment "The Joy of the Gos- pel" for el-Sissi and an inlaid silver box with a mir- rored lid for Francis. The Vatican said the meeting focused on the need for dialogue to bring an end to the conflicts in the region as well as pro- mote peaceful co-existence, religious freedom and in- ter-religious dialogue. El-Sissi met later with Italian Premier Matteo Renzi, with the two lead- ers affirming their commit- ment to fighting terrorism and establishing stability in the Mediterranean re- gion. Renzi identified Libya, mired in conflict, as key to tackling both issues, as well as immigration as the point of departure for the vast majority of smugglers' boats bringing migrants to Italy. El-Sissi meets Tuesday with Italian and Egyptian entrepreneurs before head- ing to Paris. His visit was expected to focus on invest- ment, fighting terrorism and the flow of migrants from conflicts in the Mid- dle East and Africa toward Europe.

Over the last five days, several dozen students have peacefully camped at UC Berkeley's Wheeler Hall, with as many as 150 stu- dents there at times. On Monday, several hun- dred students, carrying signs and chanting against the hikes, left Wheeler and walked roughly 3 miles around Berkeley to protest the fee hikes. Last Thursday, the UC Board of Regents voted 14-7 to approve increases of as much as 5 percent in each of the next five years un- less the state devotes more money to the system. Rallies and marches were also set at UC Santa Cruz and UC Davis Monday. There were no reports of violence or arrests at any of those protests. About 50 people are ex- pected to sleep at Wheeler Monday night.
