Jaycee Dugard Rescued From Captivity, Reunited With Family

On Aug. 27, 2009, a girl who was snatched off the street 18 years ago was found and the man-and-wife team that allegedly grabbed her was arrested and charged with kidnapping and rape.

The story of Jaycee Dugard captivated the country. She was rescued after Phillip Garrido, 58, took her two daughters to hand out religious material at the University of California-Berkeley campus, tipping off two police employees there.

Dugard, whom Garrido had renamed Allissa, was reunited with her mother, Terry Probyn, and her 19-year-old stepsister, Shayna, who was 1 when Jaycee disappeared in 1991 at age 11.

"As of this moment, we are just reuniting and everything is going well," Shayna wrote in response to a question from ABC News on her MySpace page.

Garrido and his wife, Nancy, have been charged on 28 counts, including rape and kidnapping. They have pleaded not guilty.

Top 9 Unhealthiest Foods You Can Order

When ordering a dinner entree at a restaurant, few expect the waiter to return with a plate that holds more than their daily supply of calories -- or enough salt to meet their maximum daily intake for three days.

But if you order from the menu at some popular chain restaurants, that is exactly what you can expect to get, according to a report entitled "XTreme Eating 2009," released in June by the nutrition and advocacy organization Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The list includes dishes at restaurants such as the Olive Garden, the Cheesecake Factory, Chili's and Red Lobster.

Accused Yale murderer Ray Clark was arrested Sept. 17, 2009, brought into court in chains where he was ordered held on $3 million bail, and then sent to a maximum security prison to await trial for allegedly killing graduate student Annie Le.

The rapid chain of events brought to a climax the investigation into Le's disappearance in a Yale lab where she and Clark worked more than a week earlier. Her strangled body was discovered crammed into a wall on the day she was supposed to get married.

Clark has since been charged with Le's murder and has not yet entered a plea. His public defenders say they plan to plead not guilty, but they are waiting to see more evidence before they decide whether to request a hearing that would require state attorneys to present proof of probable cause.

Teens in Documentary Say Oral Sex 'Not That Big of a Deal'

The confessions some teenagers shared in a documentary about teens and sex shocked parents around the United States and sparked a huge reaction when a segment on the documentary aired on "Good Morning America."

"I ended up having sex with more than one person that night and then, in the morning, I was trying to get morning-after pills," one of the girls said. "I was, like, 14 at the time."

It's just one of dozens of stories from teenage girls in a new documentary by Canadian filmmaker Sharlene Azam that aims to shed light on the secret, extremely sexual lives of today's teens.

After four years researching for the documentary, Azam told "Good Morning America" in May that oral sex is as common as kissing for teens and that casual prostitution -- being paid at parties to strip, give sexual favors or have sex -- is far more commonplace than once believed.

"If you talk to teens [about oral sex] they'll tell you it's not a big deal," Azam said. "In fact, they don't consider it sex. They don't consider a lot of things sex."

Bill Clinton: Obama Should Sound More Hopeful

In an interview on "Good Morning America" in February 2009, former President Bill Clinton gave President Barack Obama an "A" for his first month in office, but said that Obama needed to put on a more positive face when speaking to the American people about the economy.

"Look, the American people, I think, know the president has tried to reach out to Republicans," Clinton told ABC News' Chris Cuomo. "And it takes two to tango. I think there are some of them who really believe that just-say-no politics is good politics.

"It was -- briefly, only briefly -- in the '90s. It isn't anymore," he added. "So, sooner or later, I think if he just keeps chugging along, just keeps the door open, invite them to every economic conference, invite them to every meeting, eventually, he'll start getting some votes" in Congress.

Warren Buffett Backs Second Stimulus

As debate grew about a possible second stimulus package for the flagging U.S. economy, at least one legendary investor gave the idea his guarded approval.

"I think that a second one may well be called for," Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, told "Good Morning America" in July in an exclusive interview. But, he added, "you hope it doesn't get watered down in many ways."

Buffett cautioned that a second stimulus package, like the first, won't be a panacea because stimulus packages take time to work. He criticized lawmakers' work on the first stimulus package, which contained $787 billion in spending.

"Our first stimulus bill ... was sort of like taking half a tablet of Viagra and having also a bunch of candy mixed in ... as if everybody was putting in enough for their own constituents," he said. "It doesn't have really quite the wall that might have been anticipated there."
