NEW YORK, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The New York Times reported the following stories on its front page on Wednesday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.

* Saddam Hussein was subjected to a battery of taunts by official Shiite witnesses and guards as he awaited his hanging.

* A recommendation would make New Jersey the first state in over 35 years to abolish the death penalty.

* Google <GOOG.O> is starting to look for well-rounded candidates, like those who have published books or started their own clubs.

* The one factor that researchers agree is consistently linked to longer lives in every country is education.

* Driven by slumps in learning and by high dropout rates, educators are struggling to rethink middle school.
