BOSTON (AP) — The second winter storm in four days to hit the Northeast centered on New England on Monday, bringing howling winds and coastal flooding and threatening Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts with up to 18 inches of snow.
Snow from the storm bearing down on New England could last into Tuesday, when New Hampshire's first-in-the nation presidential primary is held. The storm was accompanied by high winds that could gust up to 65 mph and bring power failures, as well as coastal flooding from south of Boston to Cape Cod and Connecticut. A major surface road in south Boston was closed by flooding late Monday morning.
(RNS) — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders — a political independent, a socialist and possibly the most liberal member of Congress — may be a cultural Jew, but he's campaigned on the idea that people of faith and those with strong moral values can stand together.
He even took his pitch — that the separation of church and state honors diversity and respects autonomy — to conservative evangelicals at Jerry-Falwell-founded Liberty University.
