King Jr.
By Errin Haines
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The federal holiday
honoring Martin Luther King Jr. has
taken on added meaning for most
Americans this year, as they try to
make sense of the violence in
Arizona that left six people dead and
a member of Congress fighting for
her life.
A state that once resisted the
notion of a federal King holiday —
and last year was the setting for a
sharp-tongued debate on immigra-
tion — now finds itself in search of
solace after the Jan. 8 attack on Rep.
Gabrielle Giffords and the throng of
people around her outside a grocery
store in Tucson. The balm of choice
is King, a pacifist Southern preacher
whose own life was cut short by gun
violence.
“Dr. King’s message was about
inclusion and the recognition of
human dignity, of human rights and
making sure that all of our voices
are heard,” said Imani Perry, an
African-American studies professor
at Princeton University. “I hope peo-
ple in Arizona, in particular,
embrace that part of his message.
The politics in Arizona recently
have often seemed to revolve around
excluding people.”
Monday marks the 25th federal
observance of the birth of King,
whose words were often met with
hate and resistance during one of the
nation’s most turbulent and transfor-
mative eras. Today, King is one of
the country’s most celebrated citi-
zens and the only one to be honored
with a national holiday who did not
serve as a U.S. president.
“So little of his real politics show

Sewage pipe
break linked
to pressure
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Nearly six months after thousands
of gallons of raw sewage poured in
the Redwood Shores lagoon from a
ruptured pipeline, the waters are
clear and officials believe a pressure
change was behind the break.
“All we really have is speculation.
We hired an outside engineering
consultant who estimates it was
some sort of transient pressure creat-
ed in the pipe which is not uncom-
mon,” said Public Works Service
Director Evan Boyd.
On Aug. 25, the break in a pres-
surized sewer pipe dumped 48,000
gallons of matter into the lagoon and
into six residential garages in the
area of Davit Lane and Anchor
Circle. Crews spent the next day
diverting sewage into trucks for
transport to a nearby treatment facil-
ity and fixing the break, followed by
cleanup and repair to the garages
and landscaping. The cleanup efforts
in the lagoon itself were under way
when, on Thursday, Sept. 2, a small
plane crashed into the other side of
the lagoon. Despite the health advi-
sory, bystanders jumped into the
water to help but all three people
onboard were killed.
E. coli contamination from the
sewage spill combined with the
plane fuel closed the waters past
Labor Day when tests by the San
Mateo County Environmental
Health Department showed it was
again safe for human contact. In the
months since, the city continues
keeping an eye on bacteria levels as
part of its regular maintenance.
The pipeline is getting a bit of a
closer eye and the city is currently in
the process of hiring a firm to ana-

been people, they’ve yearned to go
somewhere else, to see what’s beyond the gar-

cross the universe. And they’ve needed to find
a way to get there, over, under, around or

“You can’t get there from here!” has never

From time to time, I run an idea for a news-

take on it. When I asked my wife if she’d ever
heard of the “Bernal Cut,” she said she
thought it might be a jeweler’s term for a
fancy cut of a diamond, like a marquis-cut or
a pear-cut. For a woman who admits to short-

her long-term memory. Fifty-two years ago, I

The “Bernal Cut” refers to an area in San

history. When you think of a “cut” or a “gap,”
think Cumberland Gap, for example, that pas-

In the 1770s, the Spanish were intent upon

‘Social Network’wins 4 Globes
By David Germain
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEVERLY HILLS — The
Facebook tale “The Social
Network” won top honors Sunday
at the Golden Globes with four
prizes, including best drama and
director, solidifying its prospects as
an Academy Awards favorite.
Winning the dramatic lead-acting
prizes were Colin Firth for the
British monarchy saga “The King’s
Speech” and Natalie Portman for
the psychosexual thriller “Black
Swan.”
Lead-acting honors for the
Globes’ musical or comedy cate-
gories went to Annette Bening for
the lesbian-family story “The Kids
Are All Right” and Paul Giamatti
for the curmudgeon tale “Barney’s
Version.”
The boxing drama “The Fighter”
earned both supporting actor
Globes, for Christian Bale and
Melissa Leo.
David Fincher, directing winner
for “The Social Network,” said he
thought it was strange when “The
Social Network” script came to
him, since he usually makes dark
character studies about misan-
thropes or films about serial killers.
His films include the murder tales
“Seven” and “Zodiac.”
“I’m personally loath to acknowl-
edge the kind of wonderful response
this film has received for fear of
becoming addicted to it, so suffice it
to say, it’s been really nice,” said
Fincher, whose film also won the
Globes for screenplay for Aaron
Sorkin and musical score for Trent
Reznor and Atticus Ross.
Sorkin, creator of TV’s “The West
LOCAL/STATE
Wing,” had kind
words for
Facebook
founder Mark
Zuckerberg,
played by Jesse
Eisenberg in
“The Social
Network.”
“ M a r k
Natalie Portman Zuckerberg, if
you’re watching, Rooney Mara
makes a prediction at the beginning
of the movie. She was wrong. You
turned out to be a great entrepre-
neur, a great visionary and an
incredible altruist,” Sorkin said.
The win by Portman for her role
as a ballerina coming unhinged
amid a production of “Swan Lake”
sets her up for a two-woman show-
down for best actress at the Feb, 27
Oscars with Bening, who won for
her role as a stern lesbian mom in
“The Kids Are All Right,” which
also won for best musical or come-
dy film.
It’s familiar territory for Bening.
She won the same prize at the
Globes 11 years ago for “American
Beauty” and went in as the best-
actress favorite at the Oscars, where
she lost to Globe dramatic actress
winner Hilary Swank for “Boys
Don’t Cry.”
Portman thanked the film’s chore-
ographer, her fiance Benjamin
Millepied, with whom she’s expect-
ing a child. He also appears in the
movie, and his character doesn’t
want to sleep with hers.
“He’s the best actor! It’s not true,
he totally wants to sleep with me,”
Portman said, giggling.
“Barney’s Version” follows the
many loves in his life: his three
wives, played by Rachelle Lefevre,
Minnie Driver and Rosamund Pike,
whom Giamatti described as “a tri-
fecta of hotties.”
“I got to smoke and drink and get
laid in this movie and I got paid for
it. An amazing, amazing thing,”
Giamatti said.
Bening won the musical or come-
dy actress prize in a field that
included “The Kids Are All Right”
co-star Julianne Moore. The film
stars Bening and Moore as a couple
whose family falls into turmoil after
their teen children seek out the
sperm donor that fathered them.
“I’m very proud to be a part of
this very special film about two
women who are deeply in love and
try to keep their family together,”
Bening said. “My partner, Julianne
Moore, I have to thank first. She
asked me to do the picture with her.
She made it possible for us to shoot
it where we shot it, when we did, so
Julianne — you are a class act,
thank you.”
The buzz around town on Globes
weekend was not only about likely
winners, but also about a lawsuit
filed Thursday by a former longtime
publicist for the Globes claiming
the organization that runs the show,
the Hollywood Foreign Press
Association, engages in payola

Ricky Gervais returned as Globes
host for the second-straight year.
Gervais joked that Globe nominees

“They also accepted bribes,”
Gervais said, referring to the publi-
cist lawsuit.
Philip Berk, who heads the
HFPA, made no reference to the
lawsuit during his appearance early
in the show, simply offering a per-
functory plug for the quality of
Hollywood movies.
Gervais pulled few punches as the
night progressed, mocking Hugh
Hefner, Charlie Sheen, Cher, Bruce
Willis, Mel Gibson, Scientologists
and Robert Downey Jr., among oth-
ers.
“Aside from the fact that it’s been
hugely mean-spirited, with mildly
sinister undertones, I’d say the vibe
of the show is pretty good so far,
wouldn’t you?” Downey, a presen-
ter, shot back, perhaps only half-
jokingly.
Bale, who won for his role as a
former boxer whose career unrav-
eled amid drugs and crime, thanked
his collaborators on “The Fighter,”
among them director David O.
Russell and star and producer Mark
Wahlberg, who plays boxer Micky
Ward to Bale’s Dicky Eklund,
Ward’s older half brother.
“I’ve really got to give a shout out
to Mark, because he drove this
whole movie, and you can only give
a loud performance like the one I
gave when you have a quiet anchor
and a stoic character,” Bale said.
“I’ve played that one many times,
and it never gets any notice.”
Bale seems to be on the same
awards track as his “Batman” co-
star, the late Heath Ledger, was two
years ago, when he won supporting
actor at the Globes for “The Dark
Knight” on the way to earning a
posthumous Oscar.

Cancer survivor aims to raze barriers with app

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — In the late
1990s, Marty Tenenbaum was a hot-

he learned he had melanoma, the
deadliest form of skin cancer.

ter to the west of the mountains were the
always-shifting sand dunes. If these routes
were impassable, going up and over the
mountains was impossible. They needed a
break, literally, and they found one, the Bernal
Cut. Most cuts or gaps are carved out by
streams. Precita Creek, running north and
around Bernal Heights, did the original work
for the Bernal Cut. In the years to come, all
roads would lead to this gap and play an
important role in the transportation history of
the Peninsula for railroads, trolleys, streetcars
and autos.
In the 1860s, the San Francisco and San
Jose Railroad Company, headquartered in the
roadbed through this hilly district, cutting a
wider and deeper V-shape than the Precita
Creek could have done in a thousand years.
This railbed continued west along San Jose
Avenue to Daly City where it continued south.
In the 1860s, the Southern Pacific Railroad
acquired this franchise, along with the trolley
franchise along Market Street and Mission to
about 30th Street. This gave Southern Pacific
an important and strategic position to control
much of the commerce along the Peninsula.
In 1892, Behrend Joost, a German immi-
grant and a very successful San Francisco
merchant, had acquired the franchise for the
city’s first electric trolley, to travel along
Guerrero Street to the Glen Park area where
he had property to develop and sell for homes.
It was an area hemmed in by hills and difficult
to reach. Joost believed the trolley would give
prospective buyers the idea that they could
was franchised to go as far south as San
Mateo, but he only built to the cemetery area
of Colma. The Southern Pacific acquired the
franchise three years after construction, but in
the early 1900s it was sold to a Baltimore
Syndicate which completed the route to San
Mateo. It was designated the #40 Line.
Another railroad line was built in the early
1900s through the Islais Creek area, the
Ocean Shore Railroad. Their railyards were
located east of Bernal Heights with the route
laid south to Islais Creek, then west along the
creek to Colma/Daly City. The route then fol-
lowed the ocean south to Half Moon Bay and
beyond. When the Southern Pacific built a line
on the east side of San Bruno Mountain in
1907, the importance of Colma/Daly City on
the line diminished. By the 1920s, Southern
Pacific no longer needed the Bernal Cut for
their tracks, and the city of San Francisco
By 1929, the Bernal Cut was again widened
for a multi-lane road, San Jose Avenue. A new
steel-enforced bridge was built over Islais
Creek along Mission Street. Islais Creek had
by then been flumed (the water contained and
directed within covered culverts) and
Alemany Boulevard was built on it. In the
1960s, Interstate 280 was constructed from
Daly City to Highway 101, complicating the
alignment of Alemany Boulevard and other
roads that had been built over the years since

Violence steps up in Tunisia

TUNIS, Tunisia — Tunisia sped
toward a new future after its iron-
fisted leader fled, with an interim
president sworn ordering the coun-

be formed.
But snipers boldly attacked police

steadily in the capital Saturday,
heaping doubt on hopes for a
smooth transition to a new era.
The omnipresent posters of ex-

Hezbollah defends action

BEIRUT — The leader of
Hezbollah on Sunday defended the
decision to bring down Lebanon’s
Western-backed government, saying

What’d ya say?
“I
want to reach your mind.
Brilliant.
Where is it currently
located? “ — Ashleigh
Have you ever thought about how
difficult it is to communicate with
other people? I mean, really commu-
nicate so that you understand each
other and feel some kind of emotion-
al (or even spiritual) connection.
Have you ever considered how the
inability to communicate well affects
interpersonal, social and even
national and international diploma-
cy?
This came to mind as Congress
recently “changed the guard,” so to
speak. With the attitude of the
dogged Republicans and the contro-
versial issues sure to arise, it’s obvi-
ous that better communication is
imperative. Yet, in spite of the fact
that we may have good hearing and
speak the same language, there are
few of us who can communicate
with another really well. On rare
occasions we meet someone who we
are with for five minutes and feel a
kind of instant rapport. But more
often, there are others who we can
be with all day, all year, or maybe
even a lifetime, with whom we never
feel that we have really connected.
Our relationship remains superficial.
Of course, we don’t necessarily
want to communicate on a personal
level with everyone. Sometimes even
with people we’re around a lot (like
coworkers), we have no desire to
communicate in depth. But being
able to verbally communicate at
least part of the time with important
others is very necessary to a satisfy-
ing and fulfilling life (and to con-
gressional debates).
Whether we are giving someone
directions to our house, trying to
explain a faux pas we made, or dis-

Business brief
Irish premier won’t quit over Ireland debt crisis
DUBLIN — Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen
announced Sunday he won’t resign despite intense criticism
of his management of the country’s European-record deficit
and its international bailout.
Cowen’s declaration follows several days of talks with
lawmakers in his Fianna Fail party. Many wanted him to
quit immediately so that a new leader can lead the party
into a spring election that, under Cowen’s leadership, it is
widely expected to lose.
Support up for reform
Poll:Opposition to Obama’s health care law eases
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — As lawmakers
shaken by the shooting of a colleague
return to the health care debate, an
Associated Press-GfK poll finds raw
feelings over President Barack Obama’s
overhaul have subsided.
Ahead of a vote on repeal in the GOP-
led House this week, strong opposition
to the law stands at 30 percent, close to
the lowest level registered in AP-GfK
surveys dating to September 2009.
The nation is divided over the law, but
the strength and intensity of the opposi-
tion appear diminished. The law expands
coverage to more than 30 million unin-
sured, and would require, for the first
time, that most people in the United
States carry health insurance.
The poll finds that 40 percent of those
surveyed said they support the law,
while 41 percent oppose it. Just after the
November congressional elections,
opposition stood at 47 percent and sup-
port was 38 percent.
As for repeal, only about one in four
say they want to do away with the law
completely. Among Republicans support
for repeal has dropped sharply, from 61
percent after the elections to 49 percent
now.
Also, 43 percent say they want the law
changed so it does more to re-engineer
the health care system. Fewer than one
in five say it should be left as it is.
“Overall, it didn’t go as far as I would
have liked,” said Joshua Smith, 46, a
sales consultant to manufacturers who
lives in Herndon, Va. “In a perfect world,
I’d like to see them change it to make it
more encompassing, but judging by how
hard it was to get it passed, they had to
take whatever they could get.”
His extended family has benefited
from the law. A sister-in-law in her early
20s, previously uninsured, was able to
get on her father’s policy. “She’s starting
out as a real estate agent, and there’s no
health care for that,” said Smith. The law
allows young adults to stay on a parent’s
plan until they turn 26.
Congress stepped back last week to
honor victims of the rampage in Tucson,
Ariz., that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords,
D-Ariz., facing a long and uncertain
recovery from a bullet through her brain.
There’s no evidence the gunman who
targeted Giffords was motivated by poli-
tics, but the aftermath left many people
concerned about the venom in public
life.
A conservative Democrat, Giffords
had been harshly criticized for voting in
favor of the health overhaul, and won re-
election by a narrow margin.
House Republican leaders say they’re
working to keep this week’s debate —
and expected vote Wednesday — from
degenerating into a shouting match, but
it depends on the Democrats, too.
Republicans want a thoughtful discus-
sion about substantive policy differ-
ences, said Brad Dayspring, a
spokesman for Rep. Eric Cantor, the No.
2 GOP leader. The AP-GfK poll was
under way when the attack in Tucson
took place Jan. 8.

Record $14 trillion-plus debt weighs on Congress

By Tom Raum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The United States
just passed a dubious milestone:
Government debt surged to an all-time
high, topping $14 trillion — $45,300 for
each and everyone in the country.
That means Congress soon will have
to lift the legal debt limit to give the
nearly maxed-out government an even
higher credit limit or dramatically cut
spending to stay within the current cap.
Either way, a fight is ahead on Capitol
Hill, inflamed by the passions of tea
party activists and deficit hawks.
Already, both sides are blaming each other
for an approaching economic train wreck as
Washington wrestles over how to keep the
government in business and avoid default on
global financial obligations.
Bills increasing the debt limit are
among the most unpopular to come
before Congress, serving as pawns for
decades in high-stakes bargaining
games. Every time until now, the ending
has been the same: We go to the brink
before raising the ceiling.
All bets may be off, however, in this
charged political environment, despite
some signs the partisan rhetoric is soft-
ening after the Arizona shootings.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner
says failure to increase borrowing
authority would be “a catastrophe,” per-
haps rivaling the financial meltdown of
2008-2009.
Congressional Republicans, flexing
muscle after November’s victories, say
the election results show that people are
weary of big government and deficit
spending, and that it’s time to draw the
line against more borrowing.
Defeating a new debt limit increase
has become a priority for the tea party
movement and other small-government
conservatives.
So far, the new GOP majority has
proved accommodating. Republicans are
moving to make good on their promise
to cut $100 billion from domestic spend-
ing this year. They adopted a rules
change by House Speaker John Boehner
that should make it easier to block a
debt-limit increase.
The national debt is the accumulation
of years of deficit spending going back
to the days of George Washington. The
debt usually advances in times of war
and retreats in peace.

Year ahead looms

as toughest yet
for state budgets
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO — If 2011 is hinting at a national recov-

ery, there is little sign of it in statehouses across the country.
States that already have raided their reserve funds, relied on
borrowing or accounting gimmicks, and imposed deep cuts on
schools, parks and public transit systems no longer can protect
key services in the face of another round of multibillion dol-
lar deficits.
As governors roll out their budget proposals and legislatures
convene this month, they do so amid a sputtering economic
recovery and predictions of slow growth for years to come.
State and local governments face lackluster revenue projec-
tions, worries from Wall Street over looming debt and the end
of federal stimulus spending.
In the first weeks of 2011, Republican and Democratic gov-
ernors alike have begun detailing across-the-board pain for
education, health care, transportation, public safety and other
programs. Some say the year of reckoning for state and local
governments is at hand, with calls for structural changes that
could radically shift expectations of what services govern-
ment provides.
Many believe the months ahead will be the most challeng-
ing in memory, with consequences for millions who depend
on government funding.
“We need to send a message to the governor: We’re real, and
we depend on all these services,” said Sergio Garibay, a 41-
year-old Southern California resident who relies on state dis-
ability payments and recently protested deep cuts to Medi-Cal
programs proposed by California Gov. Jerry Brown. “There
are other alternatives to the budget. Why don’t we tax the rich,
these corporations?”

NFL backs regulations for youth concussions

OMAHA, Neb. — The NFL is
helping craft legislation in states
around the country that would pro-
tect young athletes from the long-

Young athletes are believed to be
more vulnerable than adults to last-

The Nebraska bill, like others,
would require public and private
high schools, as well as other youth
sports organizations, to provide
coaches with training on how to rec-
ognize symptoms of concussions.
Athletes and their parents or
guardians would be given informa-
tion each year on the symptoms and
risks associated with head trauma.
The bill also would require a
licensed health-care professional to
evaluate an athlete and provide writ-
ten clearance before the athlete is
allowed to resume participation.

Jets beat Patriots dismantles

Shocker:Ryan’s boys back up talk,win 28-21 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Football’s oldest

By Howard Ulman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — So the Jets
weren’t all talk — trash talk — after all.
Now Rex Ryan’s rowdy bunch is headed to
its second straight AFC championship game
after New York backed up its coach’s boasts
with a 28-21 win Sunday over the New
England Patriots — the team with the best
record in the NFL.
Mark Sanchez threw three touchdown pass-
es and and the Jets sacked Tom Brady five
times in the most-hyped of the weekend’s four
postseason games following a week of verbal
potshots from both teams.
New York led its fierce rival 14-3 at halftime
before Brady’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Alge
Crumpler and Sammy Morris’ run for a 2-
point conversion made it 14-11 late in the
third quarter. But Sanchez came right back
with a 7-yard scoring pass to Santonio Holmes
and New York finished the upset with Shonn
Greene’s 16-yard touchdown run.
The Jets (13-5) kept Ryan’s prediction of a
Super Bowl appearance alive. The Patriots
(14-3) lost their third straight postseason
game.
“Maybe everybody else never believed, but
we believed,” Ryan said. “We’re moving on.
Same old Jets, back to the AFC championship.
The only difference is this time we plan on
winning.”
They lost last season to Indianapolis 30-17,
but now have another chance for their first
Super Bowl berth since 1969 when another
loudmouth, “Broadway Joe” Namath, backed
up his guarantee with a 16-9 win over the
Baltimore Colts.
Ryan has said many times that the Jets are a
Super Bowl-caliber team, and has irritated
fans, opposing players and media with his
bold remarks. Last week he said the game was
a contest between him and Patriots coach Bill
Belichick. Then, after Antonio Cromartie

reprise of the “Super Bowl Shuffle”
if the Chicago Bears can get past the
Green Bay Packers.
“It’s a big deal. We have a lot of
history with them,” Bears star line-
backer Brian Urlacher said after a
35-24 victory over Seattle set up an
NFC championship game matchup
with Green Bay. “We don’t like
them, they don’t like us.”
Jay Cutler ran for two touchdowns
and threw for two as Chicago (12-5)
pounded the Seahawks from the out-
set. The Bears’ built a 28-0 lead, but
it was against the first division win-
ner with a losing record, making it
difficult to measure how good they
are. The NFL will find out next
week against the Packers (12-6),
who have beaten third-seeded
Philadelphia and top-seeded Atlanta
on the road this month.
The last time Chicago won the
NFL title, Walter Payton, Jim
McMahon and Mike Singletary did
the “Super Bowl Shuffle” all over
their opponents. That was 25 years
ago, and to compare these Bears
with the wild bunch that won
Chicago’s only Super Bowl 25 years
ago is a stretch.
But next Sunday’s matchup is fit-
ting if only for the history: It will be
the biggest game in Chicago’s 90-
year series with the Packers. They
will play for the 182nd time next
Sunday, but it’s their first meeting
for the NFC title.

’Caveman football’ YOUTH
for a new century
CHICAGO — The NFL’s first ejection for fighting came
in a Bears-Packers game.
No surprise there.
That was 87 years ago, just three years after they first met,
back when just about everyone played “caveman football.”
So while the league’s oldest rivalry may
no longer be its nastiest — that title
belongs to Ravens-Steelers now — next
Sunday’s NFC championship should
remind us that this one still might be the
least evolved.
In the intervening years, a parade of
skilled offensive players named Payton,
Sayers and Ditka on the Chicago side,
Starr, Hornung and Favre in Green Bay,
lasted long enough to make their mark
on the series. But a succession of coach-
es, beginning with franchise founders JIM LITKE
George Halas and Curly Lambeau,
never forgot their Midwestern towns were buffeted by some
of the worst that winter had to offer. So they rarely got caught
without monsters named Butkus and Urlacher, Nitschke and
Matthews on the other side of the ball, ensuring the games
never got too pretty.
The Bears and Packers have played 181 times previously,
with Chicago holding a 92-83-6 edge. Between them, they’ve
won 21 NFL titles and sent four dozen players to the Hall of
Fame. Incredibly, they met only once before in the postsea-

Ryan said he wouldn’t punish his cor-
nerback.
The ultra-serious Belichick wasn’t as
kind to Wes Welker.
The wide receiver was benched for the
Patriots first series for subtle remarks
apparently directed at Ryan. Welker
made several references to feet in his
news conference Thursday, interpreted
by some as a dig at recent foot-fetish
reports involving Ryan.
When the game ended, Belichick
walked slowly to midfield where he met
Ryan, patted his conqueror on the back
with his left hand and shared some
words.
“We just didn’t do enough things well
today,” Belichick said. “It’s obvious.”

Connecticut, Massachusetts, New

have adopted concussion legislation

years.
“We have made a commitment to
assist in the passage of 10 more similar
bills in the next year and continue our
advocacy around the country until every
state has a concussion law,” Miller said.
The laws do not mandate punishment
for failure to follow the guidelines.

Seahawks’ points all came with the out-

“Now we’re back, playing together,
hopefully peaking at the right time,”
Urlacher said.
Cutler, in his first postseason game,
showed none of the wild swings that
often have marked his five-year career.
His shifty moves on a 6-yard run made it
21-0, essentially turning everyone’s
attention to next weekend.
“We’re both familiar with each other,
so nothing’s going to be new,” Cutler
said. “We have our hands full.”
Not much was expected of the Bears
when the season began, but they’ve
improved mightily since falling to 4-3
Holmes. Brady, who played poorly for
his second straight postseason game,
was 29-for-45 for 299 yards, two touch-
downs and one interception.
“I don’t even know what to say right
now,” Tomlinson said. “What an unbe-
lievable win for our team.”
After Greene scored the Jets last
touchdown, he put the ball on the ground
like a pillow and rested his head on it. A
quiet climax to a loud week.
Now Sanchez gets a chance to beat one
of the NFL’s best quarterbacks for the
third straight week when he faces Ben
Roethslisberger after knocking off
Peyton Manning, who won the NFL’s
last two MVP awards and Brady, who is
a favorite to win his second in four years.
“He’s just now getting better and bet-
ter and better,” Ryan said.
The Steelers have been installed as 3-
point favorites.
In one of their worst halves of the sea-

remaining, grabbing their first NFC
North championship since 2006 —

Super Bowl.
Unlike Atlanta and Pittsburgh on
Saturday, they showed no rust from hav-
ing a bye in dominating Seattle. Then
again, the Seahawks showed none of the

merely a one-week reprieve, and they

In the first two quarters, Brady
absorbed three sacks and was sent
scrambling at least that many times. He
misfired on an interception on his first
series after finishing the season with a
league-record streak of 335 passes with-
out a pick.
Then on the Patriots fifth possession,
trailing just 7-3, they botched a fake punt
attempt. Patrick Chung took the short
snap and fumbled. He got the ball back
but all escape routes closed quickly. He
was tackled at the Patriots 37 with 1:06
remaining.
Plenty of time for Sanchez.
Just one week earlier, Indianapolis had
taken a 16-14 lead with 53 seconds left
on Adam Vinatieri’s 50-yard field goal.
But Sanchez brought New York back,
connecting with Edwards on an 18-yard
gain to the Colts 14, and Nick Folk
kicked a 32-yard field goal as time
expired, sending the Jets to Foxborough.
This time, after runs of 17 and 5 yards
by Tomlinson and an incompletion,
Sanchez hit Edwards for a 15-yard score
and the Jets led 14-3 at halftime.

No.1 seeds both one-and-done
By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
So much for those No. 1 seeds.
They’re both one-and-done in the NFL
playoffs.
The trash-talking New York Jets delivered
the latest stunner, upsetting the New
England Patriots 28-21 Sunday. Mark
Sanchez threw three touchdown passes, Tom
Brady was sacked five times and Rex Ryan’s
team put itself one win away from backing
up his Super Bowl boast.
The Patriots — who had the league’s best
record during the regular season — were
bounced less than 24 hours after NFC top
seed Atlanta went down with a 48-21 rout by
Aaron Rodgers and the streaking Green Bay
Packers.
“We came here for a reason,” said Ryan,
the Jets’ brash coach. “We believed we were
the better team. I knew if we applied our-
selves, we would beat them.”
The Jets will travel to Pittsburgh for their
second straight AFC championship game,
looking for their first Super Bowl appear-
ance since Joe Namath boldly predicted a
win in the 1969 title game — then backed up
his words against the heavily favored Colts.
This New York team is from the same
mold, knocking off the Patriots after back-
and-forth verbal sparring that turned this
into the most anticipated matchup of the
weekend. Ryan didn’t mind all the jawing,
but New England held out star receiver Wes
Welker on the opening series after he made
not-so-subtle references to recent foot-fetish
reports involving the Jets coach and his
wife.
None of it seemed to bother Ryan, who
guided the Jets to the AFC title game a year
ago before the season ended with a 30-17
loss to Indianapolis. This time, the Jets will
face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who rallied
from a two-touchdown deficit to beat divi-
sion rival Baltimore 31-24 on Saturday.
“Same ol’ Jets,” Ryan crowed. “The only
difference is we plan to win it this time.”
In Sunday’s other contest, the Chicago
Bears completed a matchup between two of
the NFL’s most storied teams by cruising
past the under-.500 Seattle Seahawks 35-24.
Chicago will face the Packers in the NFC
title game — the 182nd meeting between the
teams over the last 90 years, but, amazingly
enough, only the second time they’ve faced
each other in a playoff.

Rodgers turned in another dynamic per-
formance for the Packers (12-6), throwing
for 366 yards and accounting for four touch-
downs in the highest-scoring playoff game
in team history.
After leading an upset of Michael Vick
and the Eagles in Philadelphia, Rodgers
thoroughly dominated the team that had
home-field advantage on the NFC side.
“We have what it takes,” Packers corner-
back Charles Woodson said. “Make no mis-
take about that.”
The Falcons (13-4) were set up to make a
run at just the second Super Bowl in fran-
chise history, but four turnovers and five
sacks made for an ugly night that sent most
of the home fans heading for the exits before
the final quarter.
“We did a lot of things well this year and
we’ve got a chance to build on some of the
things we did this year,” said quarterback
Matt Ryan, who had two interceptions and
lost a fumble.
Steelers 31, Ravens 24
Pittsburgh (13-4) earned its 15th trip to
the AFC title game, and this one will be
more satisfying than most after the Steelers
overcame a tumultuous offseason that
resulted in a four-game suspension for quar-
terback Ben Roethlisberger.
“We don’t take this for granted,” coach
Mike Tomlin said.
After trailing 21-7 at halftime, Pittsburgh
won it with a classic drive at the finish.
Roethlisberger, who threw for two touch-
downs, completed a 58-yard pass to rookie
Antonio Brown on third-and-19. That set up
a 2-yard scoring run by Rashard Mendenhall
with 1:33 left.

Sharapova gets Australian Open started with win
By John Pye
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MELBOURNE, Australia — Maria
Sharapova won for the first time at Melbourne
Park since taking the 2008 Australian Open
title, beating Thai veteran Tamarine
Tanasugarn 6-1, 6-3 on Monday in the open-
ing match on center court.
Sharapova, the former top-ranked player
who missed the 2009 Australian Open
because of a shoulder injury and was ousted
in the first round last year by fellow Russian
Maria Kirilenko, struggled with her serve and
was inconsistent in the second set. After los-
ing the opening service game at love,
Sharapova won seven straight games to take a
6-1, 1-0 lead.
The 33-year-old Tamarine, clearly not in
peak physical condition, rallied and had a
game point on serve for a 4-1 lead, but
Sharapova broke back and regained momen-
tum, winning the last five games.
Even when she was winning, though,
Sharapova had trouble finding range with her
serve. She had 10 double-faults and five aces.
Nerves had a role in that.
“I definitely felt that in the beginning. I
knew I had an early exit last year and didn’t
want that to happen this year,” said
Sharapova, who has the goal in Australia of
“staying aggressive and little by little trying to
SPORTS
get my game better, maybe to where it was a
few years ago and maybe better than that.”
In other women’s first-round matches,
Russia’s Evgeniya Rodina ousted Australian
wild-card entry Olivia Rogowska 6-3, 6-1.
Julien Benneteau of France withdrew
before his first-round match because of an
infected finger on his right hand. The 29-year-
old Benneteau, a right-hander, was scheduled
to play 26th-seeded Juan Monaco of
Argentina. Benneteau’s spot in the draw was
given to lucky loser Simon Greul of Germany.
Defending champion Roger Federer was to
play Lukas Lacko of Slovakia in the third
match on Rod Laver Arena, where he has won
four previous Australian titles.
Federer and top-ranked Rafael Nadal were
behaving like best mates at Rod Laver Arena
— high-fiving, hugging, shaking hands and
laughing at each other’s jokes on Sunday
night in the exhibition “Rally for Relief”
fundraiser for victims of the fatal floods in
Australia’s northeastern Queensland state.
It’ll be a completely different story if they’re
back on the same court in two weeks.
Nadal has won the three Grand Slam titles
since Federer won here in Australia and is
aiming to become the first man since Laver in
1969 to win four straight majors. It’s being
dubbed the “Rafa Slam.”

and then played together against Kim Clijsters

bition.
Neither Federer nor Nadal wore micro-
phones when they played a little later. It was
mostly smiles, but there were glimpses of
competitive intensity when they faced each
other in mixed doubles.
At their exhibition Sunday, Federer said
Nadal has “been playing incredible.”
“An incredible run through the French,
Wimbledon, U.S. Open — it was incredible to
see. Then obviously it’s hard to maintain. But
he’s going to be for sure ready for this,”
Federer said. “I’ll follow it very closely. If I
get a chance, I hope I can stop him.”
Also on the first day, No. 1-ranked Caroline
Wozniacki takes on Gisela Dulko of
Argentina and Federer .
Third-seeded Djokovic, the 2008 champi-
on, plays Spaniard Marcel Granollers in the
main night match Monday.

“I’m still learning some of the sto-
ries and I’m already five years in,” cor-
nerback Danieal Manning said after
Chicago clubbed Seattle 35-24 to seal
the home game against Green Bay.
Manning was one of the few players
even willing to acknowledge that he’d
invested some time learning the lore.
Not so Julius Peppers, the Pro Bowl
end who was lured to Chicago this off-
shore up the Bears’ defense.
“At the end of the day, it’s not going
to come down to how many Hall of
Famers, or whatever, played in the
past,” Peppers said. “It’s going to be
about the guys in this locker room and
the one across the way.”
No kidding. Players used to go out
of their way to deliver messages in the
series, but they no longer fight over
livelihoods; they all make plenty of
money win or lose, playoff bonus or
not. They also swap congratulatory
text messages, training tips and even
restaurant and nightclub reviews. The
nastiness rarely spills over into public
anymore.
Yet scratch any middle-aged Bears
should be celebrating — and what
you’ll hear is a decades-old complaint
about how Walter Payton once got run
over by the Green Bay defense even
though he was 15 yards out of bounds.
Or how quarterback Jim McMahon
was body-slammed to the turf by
Charles Martin a good three seconds
after the whistle, separating his shoul-
der and costing the Bears — “at least
three” — more Super Bowls.
Then drive the 184 miles north from
Soldier Field to Lambeau Field and
you’ll think you’ve arrived at an alter-
nate universe. All the stories about
overzealous chases and late hits sound
familiar, but this time the villains are

up in Texas, so none of those grudges
seem quite so personal. But he went
out of his way to keep faith with the
fans. He made a point of targeting
Green Bay almost from the day he
arrived seven years ago. Earlier this
month, with both a playoff spot and
first-round bye already locked up, but
a chance to knock the Packers out of
the postseason, Smith played his
starters until the bitter end of a 10-3
loss to Green Bay.
After the Packers beat Atlanta to
book their spot in next Sunday’s
game, cornerback Charles Woodson
said it didn’t matter whether the Bears
intended to knock out Green Bay.
“I just look at it that it was a rivalry
Packers and we wanted to beat the
Bears,” he said. “I don’t know if they
wanted to get us out of there so they
didn’t have to play us or not.”
Smith was just as careful.
“You want to beat whoever you are
playing, of course, and you know our
rivalry with them,” he said after the
Seattle win. “You want to beat the
Packers whenever you get an opportu-
nity. Then, it was just about us playing
to improve as a football team, that as
much as anything.”
Right.
After all, it’s not like the Bears were
pouring it on at the end against Seattle
to get ready for the Packers — or any-
thing like that.

A few weeks back, I said 2011
would once again be our Year of
the Chihuahua judging by the
steady flow of the little guys coming into
our shelter in need of rehoming. But,
according to the Chinese Zodiac, it’s the
Year of the Rabbit. Forgive us for ignoring
the Chinese Zodiac last year, but it was Year
of the Tiger. Since Mike Tyson doesn’t live
in our county, there really isn’t much of a
market for tiger adoptions. Year of the Ox
and Dragon didn’t do much for us either,
but we partied like rock stars when Year of
the Dog and Cat rolled around the 12-year
cycle. According to experts, Year of the
Rabbit will be a placid year to get some rest
and lick our wounds from the previous year.
Good taste and refinement will shine on
everything and people will acknowledge
that persuasion is better than force. We’re
diggin’ all this so far. The same experts say
people will act with discretion and make
reasonable concessions, which, of course, I
take to mean they will adopt just four cats
and not 16. Then again, this year is sup-
posed to bring a general laissez faire attitude
with regard to rules and regulations. This
isn’t a green light for off-leash dogs! In the
Year of the Rabbit, we will put off disagree-
able tasks as long as possible. Don’t let this
carry over to your poop scooping. It has
been said that money can be made without
much labor in the Year of the Rabbit. Cool
— please think of your favorite animal wel-
fare charity! I’ve read that the rabbit is the
emblem of longevity. Let’s hope that means
long lives for the pets — rabbits and others
— we love so much! I don’t know if adopt-
ing a rabbit holds special significance in

‘Green Hornet’tops box office
By Derrik J. Lang
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — “The Green Hornet” is
buzzing away with the top spot at the weekend
box office.
The tongue-in-cheek superhero film starring
Seth Rogen as a playboy-turned-crimefighter
earned $34 million during its opening week-
end, according to studio estimates released
Sunday. Sony Screen Gems’ “Green Hornet,”
which was directed by indie auteur Michel
Gondry, shot down Paramount’s “True Grit,”
the Western that reigned supreme the previous
weekend.
“As we moved down the road, it got a lot of
love, the love that it deserved,” said Rory
Bruer, Sony’s president of worldwide distribu-
tion. “I think everything worked really well
for the film: the timing, the release date, the
marketing, and, most importantly, the film
itself. It all gelled in a terrific way. We’re very
pleased with the results.”
The weekend’s other major new release,
Universal’s “The Dilemma,” opened in the
No. 2 spot. The comedy starring Vince
Vaughn and Kevin James as partners at an
automobile design firm earned $17.4 million.
Despite driving away with the top two spots at
the box office, Hollywood’s first major new
releases of the year didn’t help to rev up tick-
et sales.
Hollywood’s overall revenues this weekend
continued the slump that’s persisted through
the fall and holiday season. Ticket sales this
weekend totaled $115.2 million, down 25 per-
cent compared to the same period last year,
when the sci-fi epic “Avatar” continued to
dominate at the box office with $42.7 million.
Attendance was also down by 27 percent.

case manager, to discuss housing
options.
Her family has been housed at the
First Step for Families Shelter in San
Mateo while she looks for work.
While Reeves and her children put a
face to homelessness in the county,
Canter wants the public to know that
funding social service programs is not
about “kindness.”
“These programs should be supported
not because it is the compassionate
thing to do but because it is the right
KING

up in these annual commemorations,”
said Morgan State University professor
Jared Ball. “Instead of actually reading
what he wrote or listening to what he
said, we pick catchphrases and throw his
name around. We all feel for the tragic
incident that took place in Arizona, but
this is happening to people all over the
world every day in one form or another.”
Many use the King holiday to cele-
brate King’s life and struggle for human
rights. Some choose to honor King by
following the Baptist preacher’s exam-
ple of service to their fellow man. For
others, the holiday is equal to
Presidents’ or Columbus Day: Just an
excuse for a long weekend, to take a
short vacation or do nothing.
Martin Luther King III, head of The
King Center for Nonviolent Social
Change in Atlanta, said the Arizona
tragedy is a grim reminder that the
country has not yet achieved his father’s
dream of a peaceful society.
“When incidents occur like what we
saw in Arizona, it shows us how much
work we must do to create the kind of
nation where nonviolence is embraced,”
King said.
A national remembrance of the civil
rights icon is an opportunity for the
LOCAL/CALENDAR
cleanup costs. The incident also
required reports to the Regional Water
Quality Control Board, which were
delivered in December, Boyd said.
The board expects to return its evalu-
ation of the city’s findings and correc-
tive actions at the end of this month, he
said.
On Wednesday, Boyd will deliver his
own update to the utilities committee of
Veronica Reeves, 23, with her children Marissa, 5, and Marcus, 3, meet with

mother was laid off from her job as a food service manager at major university in
San Francisco.
thing to do economically,” he said.
The programs, Canter said, keep the
vulnerable working, out of jail and out
of hospitals.
The National Alliance to End
Homelessness report indicates overall
homelessness is up 3 percent and fami-
ly homelessness up 4 percent from 2008
to 2009.
The San Mateo County Human
Services Agency’s Center on
Homelessness coordinates $5.6 million
in federal funding to support shelter
services, according to the county.
The county contributes $1.6 million
to help fund five shelter providers
including Shelter Network, Samaritan
House, InnVision, the WeHOPE
Warming Shelter and Home and Hope.
The county also supports special fam-
ily and inclement weather programs.
The inclement weather program creates
country to renew its commitment to
King’s cause. Absent that, it’s unclear
how his legacy would be remembered,
said Rice University history professor
Douglas Brinkley.
“The holiday brought the freedom
struggle into the main narrative,”
Brinkley said. “The day is meant to be a
moment of reflection against racism,
poverty and war. It’s not just an African-
American holiday. The idea of that day
is to try to understand the experience of
people who had to overcome racism but
in the end are part and parcel of the
American quilt.”
An AP-GfK poll shows that Barack
Obama’s term as the nation’s first black
president has not shifted views on the
nation’s progress toward King’s dream
of racial equality. According to the poll,
77 percent feel there has been signifi-
cant progress toward King’s dream —
about the same percentage as found by
a 2006 AP-Ipsos poll (75 percent).
Overall, 30 percent interviewed for
the AP-GfK poll say they will do some-
thing to commemorate the King holiday
this year, up from 23 percent in 2006.
About three in four respondents said
King is deserving of a national holiday.
King, who was born Jan. 15, 1929,
was killed at age 39. He has now been
dead longer than he lived, and each
commemoration adds more distance
between his generation and those who
came after and directly benefited from
his life’s work.

additional shelter beds during haz-
ardous weather conditions. With the
severe cold weather this past year, the
program was activated 15 times, serv-
ing 82 clients. In comparison, the pro-
gram had served 11 clients at this time
last year, according to the county.
The county is set to take its next
homeless count Jan. 27. The census
helps to spell out the problem of home-
lessness in the county and to secure
state and federal funding for social
service programs geared toward the
homeless.
“The general population doesn’t real-
ly see the problem,” Canter said. “We
understand the government has to cut
back. We just hope it doesn’t affect us.”

“The struggle that the holiday itself
has is to not just be a day off,” Brinkley
said. “We have trouble with that. We
have to constantly be vigilant not to let
that happen.”
Legislation calling for a federal King
holiday was introduced in Congress by
Rep. John Conyers of Michigan just
four days after King’s April 4, 1968,
assassination. Later that same year,
Coretta Scott King, his widow, started
The Martin Luther King Center for
Nonviolent Social Change in the base-
ment of the couple’s Atlanta home.
She was also committed early on to
Conyers’ proposal — an ironic tribute
to a man who usually didn’t make much
of his birthday. It would be another 15
years before Congress warmed to the
idea and passed it into law.
President Ronald Reagan signed the
bill establishing the third Monday in
January as the Martin Luther King
National Holiday on Nov. 3, 1983, and
the first observance was Jan. 20, 1986.
That year, 17 states also had official
King holidays, including Illinois, which
recognized King with a holiday in 1973,
the first state to do so.
Arizona established, then rescinded, a
King holiday in the 1980s, but finally
joined the federal observance in 1992.
New Hampshire was the last state to
honor King, in 1999.
Today, the King holiday also is
observed in more than 100 countries,
according to The King Center.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
Text of King’s ‘I have a Dream’speech
I
am happy to join with you
today in what will go down in
history as the greatest demon-
stration for freedom in the history of
our nation.
Five score years ago, a great
American, in whose symbolic shad-
ow we stand today, signed the
Emancipation Proclamation. This
momentous decree came as a great
beacon light of hope to millions of
Negro slaves who had been seared
in the flames of withering injustice.
It came as a joyous daybreak to end
the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the
Negro still is not free. One hundred
years later, the life of the Negro is
still sadly crippled by the manacles
of segregation and the chains of dis-
crimination. One hundred years
later, the Negro lives on a lonely
island of poverty in the midst of a
vast ocean of material prosperity.
One hundred years later, the Negro
is still languishing in the corners of
American society and finds himself
an exile in his own land. So we have
come here today to dramatize a
shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our
nation's capital to cash a check.
When the architects of our republic
wrote the magnificent words of the
Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, they were signing a
promissory note to which every
American was to fall heir. This note
was a promise that all men, yes,
black men as well as white men,
would be guaranteed the unalien-
able rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America
has defaulted on this promissory
note insofar as her citizens of color
are concerned. Instead of honoring
this sacred obligation, America has
given the Negro people a bad check,
a check which has come back
marked “insufficient funds.” But we
refuse to believe that the bank of
justice is bankrupt. We refuse to
believe that there are insufficient
funds in the great vaults of opportu-
nity of this nation. So we have come
to cash this check — a check that
will give us upon demand the riches
of freedom and the security of jus-
tice. We have also come to this hal-
lowed spot to remind America of
the fierce urgency of now. This is no
time to engage in the luxury of cool-
ing off or to take the tranquilizing
drug of gradualism. Now is the time
to make real the promises of democ-
racy. Now is the time to rise from
the dark and desolate valley of seg-
regation to the sunlit path of racial
justice. Now is the time to lift our
nation from the quick sands of
racial injustice to the solid rock of
brotherhood. Now is the time to
make justice a reality for all of
God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to
overlook the urgency of the
moment. This sweltering summer of
the Negro's legitimate discontent
will not pass until there is an invig-
School official blasts MLK Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREELEY, Colo. — A local
school board member and radio sta-
tion owner has come under fire for
airing an editorial denouncing the
holiday honoring slain civil rights
leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The broadcaster remains unrepen-
tant and defiant in the wake of com-
munity outcry.
orating autumn of freedom and
equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not
an end, but a beginning. Those who
hope that the Negro needed to blow
off steam and will now be content
will have a rude awakening if the
nation returns to business as usual.
There will be neither rest nor tran-
quility in America until the Negro is
granted his citizenship rights. The
whirlwinds of revolt will continue
to shake the foundations of our
nation until the bright day of justice
emerges.
But there is something that I must
say to my people who stand on the
warm threshold which leads into the
palace of justice. In the process of
gaining our rightful place we must
not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let
us not seek to satisfy our thirst for
freedom by drinking from the cup
of bitterness and hatred.
We must forever conduct our
struggle on the high plane of digni-
ty and discipline. We must not allow
our creative protest to degenerate
into physical violence. Again and
again we must rise to the majestic
heights of meeting physical force
with soul force. The marvelous new
militancy which has engulfed the
Negro community must not lead us
to a distrust of all white people, for
many of our white brothers, as evi-
denced by their presence here today,
have come to realize that their des-
tiny is tied up with our destiny. They
have come to realize that their free-
dom is inextricably bound to our
freedom. We cannot walk alone.
As we walk, we must make the
pledge that we shall always march
ahead. We cannot turn back. There
are those who are asking the devo-
tees of civil rights, “When will you
be satisfied?” We can never be satis-
fied as long as the Negro is the vic-
tim of the unspeakable horrors of
police brutality. We can never be
satisfied, as long as our bodies,
heavy with the fatigue of travel,
cannot gain lodging in the motels of
the highways and the hotels of the
cities. We cannot be satisfied as
long as the Negro's basic mobility is
from a smaller ghetto to a larger
one. We can never be satisfied as
long as our children are stripped of
their selfhood and robbed of their
dignity by signs stating “For Whites
Only”. We cannot be satisfied as
long as a Negro in Mississippi can-
not vote and a Negro in New York
believes he has nothing for which to
vote. No, no, we are not satisfied,
and we will not be satisfied until
justice rolls down like waters and
righteousness like a mighty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of
you have come here out of great tri-
als and tribulations. Some of you
have come fresh from narrow jail
cells. Some of you have come from
areas where your quest for freedom
left you battered by the storms of
persecution and staggered by the
winds of police brutality. You have
been the veterans of creative suffer-
ing. Continue to work with the faith
Brett Reese is airing the editorial
four times daily — up from two —
on his station KELS-FM 104.7. He
is unapologetic that portions of the
editorial that call King a “plastic
god,” a “sexual degenerate,” and “an
America hating communist” appear
verbatim on a website with links to
a white supremacist group.
“Facts are facts, truth is truth,” he
said, adding that he might pre-empt

mer slaves and the sons of former Contest winners
slave owners will be able to sit

I have a dream that one day even
the state of Mississippi, a state
sweltering with the heat of injustice,
sweltering with the heat of oppres-
sion, will be transformed into an
oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little
children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the content
of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down
in Alabama, with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips
dripping with the words of interpo-
sition and nullification; one day
right there in Alabama, little black
boys and black girls will be able to
join hands with little white boys and
white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every
valley shall be exalted, every hill
and mountain shall be made low, the
rough places will be made plain,
and the crooked places will be made
straight, and the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall
see it together.
This is our hope. This is the faith
that I go back to the South with.
With this faith we will be able to
hew out of the mountain of despair
a stone of hope. With this faith we
will be able to transform the jan-
gling discords of our nation into a
beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
With this faith we will be able to
work together, to pray together, to
struggle together, to go to jail
together, to stand up for freedom
together, knowing that we will be
free one day.
This will be the day when all of
God's children will be able to sing
with a new meaning, “My country,
'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of
thee I sing. Land where my fathers
died, land of the pilgrim's pride,
from every mountainside, let free-
dom ring.”
And if America is to be a great
other programing to air the editorial
round the clock. The 40-year-old
former carpenter claims he helped
build houses for Habitat for
Humanity in the Mississippi Delta
and once dated an African American
woman. He insists he’s not racist.
The Mountain States Anti-
Defamation League has asked
Reese to stop broadcasting the edi-
torial.
