...best to catch up. The campaign had limited his push to radio voter registration appeals, but that changed this week when it unveiled three new tv ads: a 60-second biography spot and two 30-second issue ads; Clinton also got her first TV spot on the air Tuesday. Obama's campaign also announced Monday that he will do a six-day bus tour across the state next week. If phase one was bare-boned voter registration, phase two, get-out-the-vote, is kicking into high gear, with a focus on the relatively intimate, small group events that helped...
...Africa's most wanted terrorist, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed - accused of masterminding the killing of 224 people as leader of the Somalia-based al-Qaeda allied group that bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Pakistan's new parliament is set to vote on a Prime Minister Monday, with President Pervez Musharraf due to swear in the new premier Tuesday. Gilani's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) will form a government in coalition with the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N) of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Together, the two parties have well over half the seats in parliament and Gilani's election should be a formality...
...River Street at around 6:45 a.m. when he was struck by the rear tire of a Shaw’s tractor trailer, which dragged him 160 feet. Pasquarello said the driver of the truck was “very distraught” after the incident. As of Tuesday, no charges had been pressed against Shaw’s. The grocery store chain, which has several Cambridge locations, did not return requests for comment Thursday. Gerald E. Zuriff, a psychiatrist who will offer grief counseling and support at Hillel, said at the vigil that Meyers’ unexpected death...
