PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Today's five Northeastern primaries could bring a sweep for Donald Trump -- but his Republican rivals are already looking ahead, with a strategy aimed at dividing up some of the anti-Trump vote. John Kasich told NBC's "Today" show that even though he won't be campaigning in Indiana -- where he's giving Ted Cruz a clear path -- he's active in other states, and "will be at the convention."
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan concedes that the "five-point" Republican legislative agenda he's pursuing in Congress could be construed as competing with policy points the GOP presidential candidates are pushing in the primary season. But in an interview on "CBS This Morning," Ryan argues that the party shouldn't wait until its nominating convention in July to tell the public its priorities, including lowering the national debt, strengthening the military and easing government regulation of business.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices are continuing their steady upward march as buyers compete for a limited number of available properties. The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 5.4 percent in February compared with a year earlier. That's down slightly from January's 5.7 percent rise. Prices are rising even as sales have leveled off in recent months.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The father of one of eight people slain in southern Ohio says he knew nothing about marijuana growing operations at three of the four crime scenes. Leonard Manley is the father of 37-year-old Dana Rhoden. He says he first learned of the marijuana from news reports. And he tells the Cincinnati Enquirer that he's sure his daughter couldn't have been involved in anything illegal. Manley also says he found it strange that the killer or killers were able to get past his daughter's two dogs.
CINCINNATI (AP) — A suburban Cincinnati man is charged with murder after calmly calling 911 to confess he'd killed his wife. He told police that he wasn't a threat and would be waiting for them on his front stoop. Police say Jeffrey Hawkins surrendered to officers at his home. The caller said he shot his wife multiple times with a handgun. He said Jo Ann Hawkins cleaned out their bank account Saturday, on his birthday, was refusing to talk to him, and that she referred him to her lawyer.
