...Crimson to an important tie early in the season. Just before that matchup, Harvard had nearly mounted a thrilling comeback in a 4-3 loss to Clarkson with two goals in the final frame. This week, however, the Crimson faltered and was ultimately overrun by the more energetic and crisp UNH team on its home ice. “I was disappointed in our last 20 minutes, but I like where we’re headed,” Harvard coach Katey Stone. “We hurt ourselves tonight by not controlling some situations that we usually control...
...Baptist Church, where he was the pastor. Some 60 members of the SCLC staff were gathered from scattered posts with their travel possessions, ready to disperse straight from Atlanta to recruiting assignments for the poverty campaign. SCLC executive director William Rutherford's summons had described a mandatory workshop of crisp final instructions--"it is imperative"--but King labored more broadly to overcome festering doubt and confusion about why they must go to Washington. He thanked his father Daddy King and others for fill-in speeches to cover his tardiness. He made a faltering joke about the tepid response of friends...

It is almost as if the Emperor is sitting there, in the museum, 17 years after his death...
...opened a minute after sunrise in Baghdad today. With most cars banned from the road for security, an eerie quiet filled the streets at a time when the horns of morning traffic would normally begin their daily cacophony. Moments after 7 a.m., as the first voters walked through the crisp, clear morning air to join lines at polling stations across the city, the peace was broken by the shockwaves from a mortar landing inside the fortified Green Zone. By mid morning, TIME reporters were turned away from a busy polling station in Kerada, just south of the Green Zone, where...
