They walked passed our officers, who were eating lunch in one of the booths, and immediately upon passing them, Jerad Miller pulled a handgun out and shot officer Soldo one time in the back of his head,” McMahill said.

Officer Beck tried to engage the couple, but was shot in the throat before he could pull a trigger, McMahill said. The Millers then shot him several times more.The suspects pulled the officers from the booth and covered Beck with a Gadsen Flag, a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, “Don’t Tread on Me,” and threw a swastika on him. One of them then pinned a note to Soldo’s body that “basically stated that this is the beginning of a revolution,” McMahill said. lVR

Can you hate the federal government but love the money it spends on you?

The electoral earthquake that was Mississippi's Republican Senate primary has pushed this question to the forefront of American politics. E.J. Dionne

The Mississippi Paradox

"Our anti-Washington politics has been to make sure that we got as much of it here as we could," he said. "You've got the tea party excited that they've corralled a big spender, but he was bringing it back to Mississippi. That's the paradox of all paradoxes."Marty Wiseman, former director of the Stennis Institute

The Senate contest between Cochran and McDaniel in Mississippi drew top billing, a heated race between a 76-year-old pillar of the GOP establishment who has helped funnel millions of dollars to his state and a younger state lawmaker  backed by the tea party groups and Sarah Palin. Cochran's supporters advertised in at least one African American newspaper in the race's final days as they appealed to traditionally Democratic voters to extend his career.

Vicksburg Mayor George Flaggs, an African American Democrat who served for 26 years in the state Legislature, said he was supporting the Republican incumbent. He said the senator has secured federal funding for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers research station in his city, adding, "It is incumbent for me to vote for Thad."A  June 24 runoff between the top two finishers would be needed.

Sergeant Bergdahl, 26, America’s only known current prisoner of war. He was captured under still unclear circumstances in June 2009 by insurgents in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan New York Times

Remaining steadfast and forever thankful that this American POW was released and continuing to keep Sgt Bergdahl & his family in my thoughts and prayers. There are so many challenges ahead and this military mom for one, continues to pray for Sgt Bergdahl & family, especially his mom, Jani, just as I have since learning of Sgt Bergdahl's capture a few years ago. There is only ONE BREATH DIFFERENCE between FEAR OF LOSING A CHILD AND LOSING A CHILD. ColoradoMilitaryMom

Her legacy is immense. Before "Caged Bird," Richard Wright's "Black Boy" and Claude Brown's "Manchild in the Promised Land" reigned on most radar screens as quintessential stories of growing up black in 20th-century America. At a time when the women's rights movement was rising, she quietly offered a female-centered vision that enriched everyone's view of black life in America. She also offered a model to everyone of perseverance against great odds and despite the burdens of earlier trauma.

With its graphic story of Angelou's rape and her self-imposed silence, "Caged Bird" sounds like a likely candidate for trigger warnings, which would offer students a no-questions-asked excuse to avoid it. Clarence Page
