Irans Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged the UN to curb what he called U.S. aggression in the Middle East.
Cleveland Debate: Candidates for Governor Ken Blackwell and Ted Strickland met in Cleveland Wednesday for the second of their four debates. With the focus on education, both were critical of the level of state funding for public schools and universities and both were critical of each other for lack of leadership on the issue. Our panel this week includes Plain Dealer reporter Mark Naymik, one of the debate panelists.
Choose Life: Thats the slogan on a special license plate available for sale in Ohio. The ACLU had sued demanding the state scrap the plates because they represent a one-sided view in the debate over abortion.

Allen, who also served in the House of Representatives, was known for making fiery speeches against the Emancipation Proclamation.
