AMHERST — Members of a Republican student group at Amherst College recently found themselves on the receiving end of an explosive smear, as they found the outer windows of their meeting space plastered with fliers associating them with the Ku Klux Klan.
According to the Amherst College Republicans, the fliers, which proclaimed, "THIS IS OUR CAMPUS, NOT THE KLAN'S," appeared in the middle of a club discussion during the group's first meeting of the school year.
BOSTON — Family members who experienced searing loss 16 years ago gathered at the Massachusetts State House on Monday for solemn ceremonies to commemorate those killed in the 9/11 attacks, and to honor courageous acts.
