...recent years, church burnings in Alabama have become a disturbing, all too common event, viewed primarily as hate crimes of one kind or another. In 1996 it was a volunteer fireman, Chris Deer, who was arrested for and ultimately pleaded guilty to setting rural Alabama churches on fire.

HARVARD 5, SOUTH ALABAMA 2 Against No. 28 South Alabama on Saturday, Harvard convincingly won all three doubles matches to secure the crucial first point. Preethi Mukundan and Cindy Chu finished first, defeating Dijana Stanic and Jelena Krivacevic...
...campaigns. The fact that we don't actively campaign in the South makes no sense to me. We may not win every one of those states, but it makes a difference that we don't even bother competing there. Why shouldn't we take our message to Mississippi or Alabama? That's part of the reason Bill Clinton did well, his attitude was, there's nobody I can't talk...
