HOUSTON (AP) — Amid
threats of protests, Taiwanese
President Chen Shui-bian
plans to deliver a personal mes
sage to supporters of his coun
try’s independence.
Part of a showdown between
pro-independence supporters
and opponents is expected to be
at Enron Field during a Hous
ton Astros game.
Protesters organized by the
Greater Houston Supporting
One China Alliance plan to con
front Chen’s supporters, many
described as advocates of Tai
wan’s independence, outside a
Katy Freeway restaurant where
he is scheduled to dine Sunday
with House Majority Whip
Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land.
Opponents also say they plan
to tell DeLay that his mistake of
receiving Chen has cost him fu
ture support among the Chinese
community.
Both groups are buying tick
ets to block hundreds of seats, for
the Astros game that night, to
make their feelings known about
the Taiwanese head of state.
Chen was scheduled to attend
the Astros game with DeLay.

DALLAS (AP) — Confes
sions to dozens of heists by a
convicted robber now serving a
federal prison sentence are be
ing reviewed by law officers.
They say John Orville Nor
man frustrated investigators by
successfully pulling off heists at
golf shops and other business
es around the country and then
disappearing.
The Texas Rangers and FBI,
following a lengthy investiga
tion and cooperation by other
law enforcement agencies, are
moving closer to solving more
than five dozen crimes they say
Norman has admitted com
pleting in Texas and through
out the United States.
The scope of confessed
heists puts Norman beyond the
activities of a normal bandit, his
attorney said.
“In my judgment, he’s one of
the last true gangsters of this
part of the country, and now
he’s retired,” said attorney
George Milner III.
Norman, 59, is serving two
consecutive life sentences in a
federal prison after pleading
guilty last year to federal armed
robbery and federal weapons
charges in connection with a
heist at an Ennis golf shop.
Norman’s attorney and in
vestigators said the suspect,
who used the Dallas area as his
home base, admitted during a
series of interviews to being
one of North Texas’ most pro
lific armed robbers, confessing
to 65 crimes across the country.
Of those, 28 were Texas rob
beries. Norman described hand
