2 CONVICTED IN DIRTY WAR [STATE TERRORISM] DEATH OF ARGENTINE BISHOP [Excerpts] 

The court in the northern city of La Rioja imposed life sentences on former army chief Luciano Benjamin Menendez, 86, and former Vice-Commodore Luis Fernando Estrella, 82.

For decades, officials insisted the death was accidental. 

The case was reopened in 2010 when a former priest who had been riding with the bishop, Arturo Pinto, said that their car had been forced off the road.

HOMELESS PAROLEES WEIGH ON CALIFORNIA COUNTIES [Excerpts] 

Gov. Jerry Brown based his recent overhaul of the state corrections system in part on the idea that having those convicted of lower-level crimes supervised by county probation officers instead of state parole agents when they are released would help them stay clean, find jobs and avoid committing new crimes. 

A cornerstone of the law's success is housing, yet county probation officers throughout the state say homelessness continues to undermine their ability to help ex-cons rehabilitate, get drug treatment and find jobs. 

Some California counties report that up to one in five of the parolees they supervise under the governor's realignment law is homeless.

MOST UNION MEMBERS HAVE TIES TO GOVERNMENT [Excerpts] 

Roughly 1-in-3 *public* sector workers is a union member, compared with about 1-in-15 for the *private* sector workforce, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

Overall, 11.3 percent of wage and salary workers in the United States are unionized, down from a peak of *35 percent* during the mid-1950s in the strong post-World War II recovery. 

"The basic structure of the labor union movement has changed, reflecting changes in the economy," said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University. 

"Manufacturing is a diminishing segment of the economy.  Also, a lot of the manufacturing that's being done today is being done nonunion." 

Since 2000, factories have shed more than 5 million jobs.
