Q: Do you plan on tearing the Kennedy Center down and how much will all of the renovations cost?
TRUMP: Probably around $200 million. I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.
