WASHINGTON (AP) — Bidding farewell to their longtime colleague, the eight remaining Supreme Court justices joined family members, former law clerks and members of the public Friday in paying their respects to Antonin Scalia in a tradition-laden, solemn day at the marble courthouse atop Capitol Hill.
The Rev. Paul Scalia, the justice's son and a Catholic priest, said traditional prayers at a private ceremony before thousands of people filed through the court's Great Hall, where Scalia's casket lay on a funeral bier first used after President Abraham Lincoln's assassination.
BOSTON – As city workers begin sweeping up winter debris from Boston's streets, another harbinger of spring has begun popping up all over town: the pothole.
Some are relatively benign, but others can be suspension busters ready to punish the unwary. AAA, the former American Automobile Association, says damage from potholes costs drivers about $3 billion a year nationwide and typically affects 1-in-5 motorists in the Northeast.
