WORLD BRIEFING For Ryan and his budget ax, a perilous of sex and glamour, has died. She was 90. — Paul Ryan traveled a perilous route to political stardom. While other law- makers nervously whis- tled past trillion-dollar deficits, fearing to cut popular programs, he waded in with a machete and a smile. Ryan wants to slice path to ticket WASHINGTON (AP) away at Medicare, food stamps and virtually every other government pro- gram but the military. Democrats, led by President Barack Obama, have made him their bud- get boogeyman. Even many fellow Republicans were reluctant to follow him at first. But Ryan has become a hero to deficit hawks. Twice now, the Republi- can-led House has embraced his austere bud- get plans. And in these tea party-infused, economi- cally bleak days, Ryan's fiscal ideas have moved into the Republican Party's mainstream, just in time to be tested in the 2012 elections. As Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick, the GOP's boisterous budget outrider is now its loudest voice on taxes and spend- ing. Dems hit Romney, Ryan on Medicare Iowa (AP) — Led by Presi- dent Barack Obama, Democrats claimed on Monday that Republican challenger Mitt Romney privately backs controver- sial plans to overhaul Medicare and cut trillions from social programs that his new vice presidential running mate has publicly proposed. Rep. Paul Ryan ''has COUNCIL BLUFFS, given definition to the vague commitments that Romney has been making,'' Vice President Joe Biden said as the Democrats welcomed the Wisconsin lawmaker to the race with a barrage of criticism.

Texas (AP) — Police say a gunman was being served an eviction notice before he opened fire from inside a home near Texas A&M and killed a law enforcement officer. College Station Assistant Police Chief Scott McCol- lum says Brazos County Constable Brian Bachmann was among three people, including the gunman, killed in a shootout at the house Monday. Romney lauded his run- ning mate's work as he resumed his own four-day bus trip through campaign battleground states. Ryan has ''come up with ideas that are very different than the president's,'' Rom- ney said in Florida, the state with the highest percentage of residents age 65 and over. ''The president's idea for Medicare was to cut it by $700 billion. That's not the right answer. We want to make sure that we preserve and protect Medicare.'' The former Massachu- year-old man was the third person killed. A woman and three law enforcement offi- cers also were injured. McCollum says Bach- mann went to the off-cam- pus home near A&M's football stadium early Mon- day afternoon when the gunman opened fire. Other officers responded to the scene after receiving a call that an officer was down. The shooting prompted McCollum says a 65- Texas A&M to send out an alert warning students and residents to stay away from the area. died at 90 NEW YORK (AP) — Helen Gurley Brown, the editor who made Cos- mopolitan magazine into a single girl's handbook Longtime editor of Cosmo, has MOULE'S TEHAMA COUNTY GLASS Enjoy the Fresh air without Bugs New Window & Door Screen Re-screen your existing screens IT'S SCREEN SEASON 515 Sycamore St., Red Bluff • 529-0260 MON.-FRI. 8AM-6PM SAT. 8AM-5PM Texas house COLLEGE STATION, for disorder CHICAGO (AP) — U.S. Rep.

House files lawsuit against Attorney General WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican-run House on Monday asked a federal court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Eric Holder, demanding that he produce records on a bungled gun- tracking operation known as Operation Fast and Furious. The lawsuit asked the court to reject a claim by President Barack Obama asserting executive privi- lege, a legal position designed to protect certain internal administration communications from dis- closure. The failure of Holder and House Republicans to work out a deal on the doc- uments led to votes in June that held the attorney gener- al in civil and criminal con- tempt of Congress. The civil contempt resolution led to Monday's lawsuit. Celebrations kicked off around the country as ath- letes returned home to cheering crowds. Leeds gave a special reception to three medalists, including triathlon gold and bronze- winning brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee. ''It's been a fantastic week in London, but to come home to Leeds is bet- ter than anything else,'' said Alistair. His brother Jonathan described the thousands on hand for their hero's welcome as ''absolutely incredible,'' saying he hadn't realized how much their success gal- vanized supporters back Respecting People.
