I painfully regret the devastation that the recent reports have caused to the citizens of Detroit, to my co workers, to the Mayor's family and to my family and friends," Beatty wrote in the letter. Kilpatrick spokesman James Canning said the mayor's office had no comment. There was no immediate response to messages seeking comment from Elliott Hall, a lawyer for Beatty. A prosecutor launched an investigation last week into the allegations, which came to light when the Detroit Free Press reported details of steamy text messages between Beatty and Kilpatrick. A conviction of lying under oath can bring up to 15 years' imprisonment. Both Kilpatrick and Beatty testified in a trial last summer that they did not have a physical relationship in 2002 and 2003, when the messages were reportedly sent.
Just put it in my shopping basket
We can't help ourselves. We know as soon as we walk through the front door of the store that there's one item we'll definitely wind up buying. Maybe it's as unglam as the Kirkland diapers by the 200 pack at Costco or an extravagant eyebrow pencil from Neiman Marcus.
The notion is that every store has a certain something that will make its way into our shopping carts. I'm so devoted to this concept of the uniquely irresistible that I write a column every week in the Tribune Sunday Magazine called "Just One Thing."
But my thing is ... mine. What's yours? Here's a list of the single things that friends and co-workers always buy at certain stores. How about you? Tell us your Just One Things and the stores where you buy them in an e-mail to atplay@tribune.com, with "ONE THING" in the subject line
