Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoes controversial
anti-gay bill, SB 1062
2
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Wednesday
that would have allowed businesses that asserted
their religious beliefs the right to deny service
to gay and lesbian customers. The controversial
measure faced a surge of opposition in recent
days from large corporations and athletic
organizations, including Delta Air Lines, the
Super Bowl committee and Major League Baseball.
Fiercely divided supporters and opponents of the
bill ramped up pressure on Brewer after the
state's Republican-led Legislature approved it
last week. On Wednesday, the governor said she
made the decision she knew was right for Arizona.
"I call them as I see them, despite the cheers or
the boos from the crowd," Brewer said, the bill
could result in unintended and negative
consequences. Brewer said she'd weighed the
arguments on both sides before vetoing the
measure, which is known as SB 1062.

  • Bijnor District, India-- Nazim Khan scans the
    vast fields before him, thick with sugarcane
    stalks that stand taller than his 6-foot-2 frame.
    Somewhere out there is a man-eating tiger on the
    prowl. A massive hunt has been launched in this
    part of northern India to catch the killer cat.
    At this point, two months into the Royal Bengal's
    deadly spree, Khan sees no good ending. The young
    wildlife conservationist knows the animal will
    either lose its own life or, at best, be captured
    and sent off to a zoo. It's either the death
    penalty or life imprisonment for the Queen of the
    Jungle.
  • Everett, Washington -- Sprawled out before us
    sits the exterior of the world's biggest building
    by volume. They make airliners here. Boeing
    offers public tours of this 98.3-acre airliner
    factory north of Seattle every day. As part of a
    convention of aviation fans called Aviation Geek
    Fest, we're gaining ultra-exclusive access to the
    factory FLOOR. The public tour is limited to the
    balcony. We're about to walk knee-deep where
    Boeing gives birth to some of the world's biggest
    and most advanced airliners, including the 747-8
    Intercontinental, the 777 Worldliner and the 787
    Dreamliner. But not so fast -- before we go
    inside, Boeing has laid down some rules no
    photos, no video, for our eyes only. Here's a
    painful development Our smartphones have been
    confiscated. Gulp. I'm already suffering from
    phantom phone pangs.
