News...    sponsored by      In this Tuesday file photo, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald talks to reporters after a jury found former Gov. Rod Blagojevich guilty on one of the 24 counts against him in his federal corruption trial in Chicago. Heading into the corruption trial, Fitzgerald was regarded as a man at the top of his game, but instead, the case has raised inevitable questions about possible missteps by prosecutors that have given fodder to critics who want Fitzgerald taken down a notch, or removed altogether.

This photo provided by The Vault, a company based in Kernersville, N.C., shows a toilet reportedly ripped from reclusive author J.D. Salinger's former home. Collectibles dealer Rick Kohl of The Vault said Friday that he bought the standard white porcelain fixture from a New Hampshire couple who owned a home where the author of "Catcher in the Rye" once lived. The receptacle has an eBay asking price of $1 million, though Kohl says he's willing to see what the literary giant's home throne will fetch.   AP photo/The Vault
