Speaker 5: and tears. The latter is because of a widespread mix
Speaker 5: up with the building's backstory. Many Sagas residents believe that
Speaker 5: Carla's Shoes was owned by Valerie Forenza, who has found
Speaker 5: editor abusive boyfriend's home in nineteen ninety three. However, I
Speaker 5: know that's not true because Hello, I called her mom,

Speaker 5: shop in Reading, not Saugus. The real owner of the
Speaker 5: Carlist Shoes building is listed as Isabelle Smith, who is
Speaker 5: not available for comment until she is It looks like
Speaker 5: the Prota sign is here to stay.

Speaker 4: just smile.

Speaker 1: over the deadly crashes of two Boeing seven thirty seven Maxes.
Speaker 2: Judge Rit O'Connor is rejecting Boeing's deal with federal prosecutors
Speaker 2: to plead guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and
Speaker 2: pay a two hundred and forty three million dollars fine
Speaker 2: because a plea agreement requires the parties to consider race
Speaker 2: when hiring an independent monitor to watch over Boeing and
Speaker 2: He found the deal marginalizes the courts role in selecting
Speaker 2: and watching that monitor. The judge world those provisions are
Speaker 2: inappropriate and against the public interest. The government's diversity, Equality
Speaker 2: and Inclusion program was a deciding factor in the judges ruling.
