WASHINGTON
Palin move criticized
One of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's potential presidential rivals said Sunday that her abrupt resignation won't help her dodge scrutiny. President George W. Bush's chief political adviser said her strategy is, at best, unclear. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Palin's announcement that she would not seek a second term — and leave office before finishing her first — simply doesn't make sense in a conventional political setting. Karl Rove, a longtime Bush counselor, said Palin has engaged in a ''risky strategy.''
Ex-Mayor Barry charged
Police say former Washington Mayor Marion Barry has been arrested and charged with stalking a woman. The U.S. Park Police said Barry, a D.C. Council member, was arrested Saturday in Washington after a woman flagged down an officer and complained that Barry was stalking her. Barry was charged with misdemeanor stalking and released. Barry's spokeswoman said Sunday that the accusation was ''baseless.''
LOS ANGELES
Jackson tickets given out
Who's getting the tickets? Like a modern-day Willy Wonka tale, more than 1.6 million fans waited to learn Sunday whether they were among the lucky few to win access to Michael Jackson's memorial service at Staples Center on Tuesday. Fans registered online for free in the random drawing of only 8,750 names. Each person selected will receive two tickets.

Monorails crash at Disney
Two monorail trains crashed early Sunday morning in the Magic Kingdom section of Walt Disney World, killing one train's operator, emergency officials said. Disney said it was the first fatal crash in the monorail's 38-year history in the park. The transit system was shut down while authorities investigated the wreck.
NEW YORK
FCC asked to ban word
Little people are calling on the Federal Communications Commission to ban the use of the word ''midget'' on broadcast TV. The group Little People of America said Sunday the word is just as offensive as racial slurs. The request was prompted by an April episode of NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, in which contestants created a detergent ad called Jesse James and the Midgets. The contestants suggested bathing little people in the detergent and hanging them to dry.
