—From Williams, Ariz.

Baltimore: The prosecutor’s statement that the man at the center of the Baltimore police investigation had committed no crime has raised again the department’s history of brutality and making false arrests.

In 2010 the city settled a class action lawsuit that had accused the cops of a pattern of groundless arrests. It was based on a study of the year 2005 in which Baltimore police executed 76,000 arrests and the prosecutors declined to press charges on a third of them.

Freddie Gray, who died of injuries sustained in custody, was falsely accused of carrying a switchblade.

Bridgegate: The federal indictment against three allies of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie details how they gleefully plotted to jam traffic on the George Washington Bridge to punish the Democratic mayor of Ft. Lee for not supporting the Republican Christie for re-election.

David Wildstein pleaded guilty yesterday. Bill Baroni and Bridget Anne Kelly are under indictment.

The three engineered a plan that closed lanes and directed traffic to a cash lane that would cause the greatest backup on the streets of Ft. Lee. They even made up a cover story to claim they were doing a traffic study.

Their electronic messages reveal that they thought it was all funny.

A week after the bridge nightmare Wildstein and Kelly joked in text messages about a rabbi who was in their disfavor “We cannot cause traffic problems in front of his house, can we?” Kelly wrote.

“Flights to Tel Aviv all mysteriously delayed,” Wildstein replied.

“Perfect,” she wrote.

The Royals: England is celebrating today after Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, delivered a baby girl who will be fourth in line to the throne. She already outranks her mother. No name yet. The heavy betting is on something with royal history: Alice and Charlotte are the clear favorites, followed by Elizabeth, Victoria, and of course Diana.

Nepal: Authorities say it is unlikely there are any more survivors under the rubble of the 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck Katmandu. The death count has risen to 7,040, with more than 14,000 people injured. The condition of many thousands of people in remote mountain villages is unknown.

Nation: The lumpy and sometimes grumpy presidential candidate Bernie Sanders raised $1.5 million on his first day in the race, rivaling the accomplishment of the three Republican contenders. Sanders said in a Facebook post that he doesn’t have billionaire friends and, “A successful national campaign will require the active participation of millions of Americans in every community in our country.”

The Fight Game: Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao duke it out tonight in Las Vegas for the welterweight title. It’s being billed as the richest fight in boxing history with a $300 million purse. Mayweather is the favorite.

And in the Philippines, it’s a national event for which so many televisions will be tuned to see Pacquiao fight that power shortages are expected.

The Blues: The great Blues man BB King is in home hospice care, according to his official website. The world is about to lose one of the greatest voices of the original American art form. His guitar riff on “Why I Sing the Blues” should be the National Anthem.
