Flowers and Livingston were
two of six candidates to run for the

former clerk Monica Banks died

W
hen Hal Bullock was three
days into a mission on a
Navy vessel in the Pacific
in the mid-1990s, China began firing
missiles into the Taiwan Strait —
turning what had been a training
mission into planning a potential
war.
At the time, Bullock was a joint
task force training officer who
taught the staffs of three-star gen-
erals and admirals how to fight wars
using forces from multiple military
branches — Air Force, Naval forces
and Marines.
On this particular mission, the
admiral whose staff he was teaching
interrupted the training.
“He said, ‘Ok, it’s been a good
training exercise. Training’s over.
We’re doing this for real,’” Bullock
said. “…So for the next 30 days, we
planned how to fight the Chinese.”
Though the war thankfully didn’t
happen, it was the only time Bull-
didn’t know when he was going to
be home. It was also the only time
a plan he helped create ended up as
part of a briefing before a U.S. presi-
dent — something he didn’t find out
until after the briefing had already
happened.
A world career
Now a resident of Columbus for
more than half a decade, Hal says
he’s known around town as the guy
who sits on the porch of his Fifth
Avenue South home and waves to
people on the sidewalk — to the
point where strangers in Walmart
have approached him and told him
they see him there all the time.
Most of them probably have no
idea he’s full of such stories from
a 30-year Air Force career, which
included everything from helping
program software at NASA in the
early 1980s to helping set up com-
munications systems in Afghanistan
someone in the Air Force, he says.
He was not a pilot, and he spent
many assignments working with the
Navy, Army and Marines, where his
specialty was computer science.
“When I started, the computer
world was still using punch cards,”
Hal said. “When I finished, we were
heavily into artificial intelligence
and linked systems across the inter-
net. … Airplanes had IP addresses.
It was quite a change over 30 years.”
Hal and Pam lived in more than
10 different homes around the
world, raising their two daughters
in places like Hawaii and Germany
and giving the whole family the
opportunity to travel all over the
world — something the two girls
didn’t realize was special until they
were in high school, Pam said.
She and Hal recalled one note
from their younger daughter’s high
school geography teacher.

Under the capitol Dome

Analysis: Some bills destined for Mississippi recycling bin

By EMILY WAGSTER PET TUS  Three bills focus on the state
The Associated Press
JACKSON — Mississippi
lawmakers could debate sub-
stantial issues this year, such
as increasing pay for teachers
and state employees, trying to
bolster school safety, and try-
ing to reduce the recidivism
rate in state prisons.
Some bills, though, deal
with issues that are much less
urgent. Many of the ideas are
recycled from previous years.
House Bill 565 and Sen-
ate Bill 2089 would designate
“Meet My Mississippi” as the
state poem. Written in 2013
by Patricia Neely-Dorsey of
Tupelo, the poem namechecks
famous sons and daughters
of the state, including Howlin’
Wolf and Eudora Welty. It also
mentions tamales, catfish,
front porches, and the Vicks-
burg Battlefield.
song. House Bill 589 propos-
es replacing the current song,
“Go, Mississippi,” with one
called “Mississippi Beautiful”
written by Jackson-area jazz
singer Pam Confer. House Bill
202 and Senate Bill 2144 would
keep “Go, Mississippi” and add
a second state song called “My
Home Mississippi,” written by
former state Sen. Delma Fur-
niss of Rena Lara.
Legislators have previously
tried to change the song and to
set a state poem. Unless strong
public demand arises, efforts
this year are also likely to fiz-
zle.
House Bill 172 , by Repub-
lican Rep. William Shirley of
Quitman, would set a $1,500
fine for any school that fails to
have students recite the Pledge
of Allegiance within the first
hour of class each day. Even
some lawmakers who love the
Stars and Stripes have been re-
luctant to create a potential new
financial problem for schools.
If teachers are not already
doing so, House Bill 200 would
require them to give daily and
weekly homework assign-
ments, including spelling and
vocabulary lessons.
The homework bill was filed
by Democratic Rep. Omeria
Scott of Laurel, who has filed it
before, without success. Anoth-
er one she pulled from the re-
cycling bin of previously reject-
ed proposals is House Bill 16 ,
which would require schools
in low-rated districts to teach
home economics.
Politicians like to boast
about reducing the number of
state employees. House Bill 40
, by Democratic Rep. Abe Hud-
son of Shelby, would go the oth-
er direction by allowing each of
the 122 state representatives to
hire two personal staff mem-
bers. The bill doesn’t estimate
the cost, but the tab for the
guaranteed rejection of the pro-
posal is $0.
House Bill 243, by Dem-
ocratic Rep. John Hines of
Greenville, would allow legis-
lators to award $25,000 grants
for public projects in their dis-
tricts. Other states have had
problems with similar slush
funds.
Two bills propose reducing
the size of the Legislature —
another issue that has been
roundly ignored in the past.
The Mississippi House has
122 members and the Senate
has 52. Senate Bill 2123 , by
Republican Sen. Michael Wat-
son of Pascagoula, would cut
the House to 70 members and
the Senate to 30, starting this
year; never mind that candi-
dates are already qualifying to
run, and that redistricting is al-
ways a time-consuming battle.
Five Republican senators are
sponsoring Senate Bill 2010 ,
which would put the House at
99 members and the Senate
at 42 beginning with the 2023
elections.
Creating a smaller Legisla-
ture might be popular talking
point back home, but propos-
als are unlikely to find friends
among lawmakers who could
see their own political futures
being threatened.
A proposal that’s unlikely to
gain traction, but for different
reasons, is House Resolution
4 by Democratic Rep. Earle
Banks of Jackson: “A resolu-
tion urging President Trump
to agree that the press is not
a threat to America, but one
of the nation’s greatest protec-
tors of freedom.” Reality check:
Grumbling about the media has
long been a popular and bipar-
tisan sport among Mississippi
politicians.

Individual found dead at lock and

dam believed to be victim of suicide
DISPATCH STAFF REPORT
An individual found deceased at the
Columbus Lock and Dam over the week-
end is believed to have died by suicide.
Authorities responded to the lock and
dam Saturday evening where the de-
ceased was found near a vehicle.
Lowndes County Coroner Greg Mer-

from West Point and that his injuries do
appear to have been self-inflicted.

Extra work, extra pay
for a few Meridian city
employees
MERIDIAN — A few
employees in a Missis-
sippi city have been ap-
proved for higher pay be-
cause they are taking on
extra responsibilities.
The Meridian Star re-
ports that the Meridian
City Council signed off
on the salaries after hear-
ing how the workers were
doing duties beyond their
original job description.
The nine positions
include two building in-
spectors, an executive
secretary and an equal
opportunity officer. Also
included are a court col-
lection specialist, a cus-
todial supervisor, a main-
tenance worker, a fire
equipment technician and
an equipment operator.
The Meridian City
Council had set pay scales
for most municipal work-
ers last year. The nine
workers were already
above the maximum on
that scale.

MUSINGS
Waiting for the Third World
Back when we
were fat, when we
ruled the world,
Americans knew
how to tell if a
country was “Third
World.”
The country was
invariably led by a
bellicose dictator
who said things
like “enemies of
the state” and who Marc Dion
constantly claimed
greatness for himself.
The country manufactured
either nothing, or next to
nothing. If there were factories The influencing countries
in the country, or refineries, or rigged their elections, and
mines, they were owned and
run by people from other coun-
tries, who were grateful that
the host country was violently
anti-union.
Government officials were
rapacious thieves who squab-
bled endlessly over nothing,
and couldn’t be trusted alone
with any woman between the
ages of 8 and 80.
The water system was
unreliable.
The population was always
armed to the teeth,
and, if they weren’t
murdering each
other over food,
they were perpet-
ually organizing
“revolutions” that
invariably swapped
one sleazy dictator
for another sleazy
dictator.
They were all
“client states.” In
those days, that
meant the country was either
under the influence of the Unit-
ed States or the Soviet Union.
propped up the dictator.
In general, that country
was divided by race, religion
or region. If one of the moun-
tain tribes managed to get
their man in as dictator, he’d
promptly begin butchering
the nonmountain people. The
same was true of their ethnic
minorities, all of whom hated
and killed each other. As for
religion, ALL of their religions
were extreme, and the country
had no tradition of suburban
churches with well-swept
parking lots whose pastors
preached on the need to be
kind to one’s neighbor. Their
pastors preached hate with a
little touch of God.
The country didn’t have a
middle class, and not much of
a working class, either. What
they had was a huge, misera-
ble mass of poor people, and
a very small ruling class who
stashed their money in Swit-
zerland so they could flee if
the Russians financed another
coup, and the dictator was
pushed out of power in favor of
another dictator chosen by the
Russians.
They had either a LOT of
political parties or only one.
Either there were 17 political
parties with names like “The
Center Left Right Socialist
Christian Democratic Party,”
or there was one party called
“The Blue Party” that was
financed by either the Amer-
icans or the Russians, and
whose principal business was
to cheer on the dictator, who
had recently begun wearing
full uniform even if he had
never served in the military.
The dictator’s wife was
much younger than he was,
and very good-looking. Her
pre-first lady life usually
included stints as a prostitute/
actress/dancer. The first lady
didn’t talk much, and owned
thousands of designer dresses
and shoes, all of them very
expensive. Indignant writers
for the better magazines often
wrote feature stories express-
ing amused disapproval of
a woman who wore Chanel
while the people of her country
starved.
There were news sources,
but the biggest one was always
hysterically partisan, running
stories about how the despised
ethnic minorities ate their own
young and were conspiring
against the majority. People
risked imprisonment and
death to listen to a “foreign”
radio broadcast or get their
hands on a newspaper from
another country.
They LOVED their military.
You couldn’t buy milk in the
capital city, and they hadn’t
repaired any of the damage
from the last hurricane, but
they were a good market for
arms dealers. Their schools
didn’t have textbooks, and
their roads were ruts, but they
bought a lot of missiles. Their
military parades lasted for
hours, and their military cere-
monies were solemn and very
precisely executed.
The money wasn’t worth
anything, not even inside the
country. Americans thought
the people of that country were
stupid, or racially inferior to
Americans. If they weren’t,
why all the fighting, why
the dictator, why the lack of
auto plants and single-fami-
ly homes? Why the endless
pictures of children with flies
walking around on their eyes?
You can vote and legislate
your way to flies on the open
eyes of children. You can fight
your way to that, too. Wait.

Voice of the people
Thinks Hosemann should resign
I urge all citizens to call Secretary of State
Delbert Hosemann’s office at 601-359-1350 to
demand he resign. He should not oversee his
own election for lieutenant governor. Also, he
should not travel around Mississippi as the
secretary of state while promoting himself as a
candidate.
This is not a partisan request, and it’s not a
suggestion that Mr. Hosemann has behaved
inappropriately to date.
Let’s avoid the fiasco of Secretary of State
Brian Kemp of Georgia and the black eye he
gave that state’s reputation in 2018 when he
refused to resign while running for governor.

Visions of a 70% tax rate
By now readers have heard that progressive
luminary Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC for
groupies) supports a 70% top marginal tax rate,
which she says will help finance a “green new
deal.” Higher taxes on the rich is the stock
socialist answer on how to pay for any project,
though a reminder arrived this week that soak-
ing the wealthy will barely register as a down
payment.
The Tax Foundation on Monday did Ms.
Ocasio-Cortez the favor of taking her proposal
seriously and asked: How much money would
the government reap from a 70% tax rate on in-
come above $10 million? Authors Kyle Pomer-
leau and Huaqun Li looked at two scenarios —
one if the rate applied only to ordinary income
like wages and interest, and another if it also
applied to income from capital gains.
The best case scenario: a 70% rate would
raise less than $300 billion in revenue over
10 years, which is less than half of the $700
billion that has been cited in press reports.
Progressives aren’t eager to put a price tag on
the green new deal, which includes modest
proposals like a universal jobs guarantee. But
you can bet that ridding the economy of carbon
will cost into the trillions of dollars.
A 70% top rate would generate even less
revenue if extended to capital gains. Investors
only pay when they realize gains by selling
assets, and they are especially sensitive to
tax rates when deciding whether to sell. High
rates can leave money locked into a current
asset instead of flowing to the next good idea.
When the Tax Foundation authors consid-
ered the effect on behavior and incentives —
why bother with that extra investment if most
of the money will go to government? — they
found that a 70% top rate on all income would
lose the government $63.5 billion over 10
years.
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez won’t admit it, but she
and her socialist friends will eventually have to
go where the real money is: The middle class.
That means higher tax rates on even modest
wage earners; taxes on retirement savings like
401(k)s or college savings accounts.
Remember this the next time a Democrat
or columnist who claims to be conservative
says he’ll finance a program by hitting the 1%
of earners who already pay more than a third
of America’s income taxes. Sooner or later
they’re coming after you.

HEALTH IN AMERICA
Anti-vaxxers spread a plague of ignorance
An outbreak of
measles four years ago
at Disneyland focused
attention on a growing
health menace — the
refusal of parents to vac-
cinate their children. The
threat has gone interna-
tional. The World Health
Organization has just
named the anti-vaccina-
tion movement among the
10 biggest global health
Froma Harrop
crises.
Italy is ground zero,
thanks to a law pushed by the far-
right 5-Star Movement that ended
compulsory vaccinations for chil-
dren in public schools. Matteo Sal-
vini, leader of its coalition partner,
the League party, called mandatory
vaccinations “useless and in many
cases dangerous.”
The anti-vaxxer crusade has a
diverse membership. In addition to
traditional right-wingers and radical
libertarians who say the decision to
not immunize their children should
be a matter of personal liberty, it
includes rich progressives who
view vaccinations as unhealthy.
(Far more students in California’s
well-to-do Capistrano Unified School “placate the gods of vaccination” are
District were found to be unvacci-
nated than in Santa Ana, its poorer
neighbor.)
The “vaccine-hesitant” — the
WHO’s politer term — often wave
ignorant junk-science claims that
vaccines can cause autism. This dan- there aren’t enough people to hold
gerous lie gained traction in a 1998
article published in the prestigious
British journal The Lancet. It turned in the air and can live on surfaces
out that lawyers suing vaccine-mak-
ers were funding the
author, Andrew Wake-
field. Britain subsequent-
ly stripped Wakefield
of the right to practice
medicine.
Donald Trump pro-
moted the falsehood,
linking vaccines and
autism during a primary
debate. The Autistic Self
Advocacy Network con-
demned the remark.
Measles cases in Eu-
rope rose to 60,000 last
year, including 72 deaths, more than
double the number in 2017. Consider
that this disease was once close to
being eradicated.
In this country, 18 states still
allow “nonmedical exemptions” for
vaccinating children based on a phil-
osophical belief. Requests for such
exemptions are rising in 12 of them.
New York state is seeing its
most troubling measles outbreak in
decades. Almost all the cases occur
among ultra-Orthodox Jews, whose
insular communities have been ripe
for anti-vaccine propagandists. Wil-
liam Handler, an Orthodox rabbi in
Brooklyn, told Vox that parents who
engaging in “child sacrifice.” That’s
not far off from a League party offi-
cial’s nutty labeling of state-funded
vaccinations as “free genocide.”
Once vaccination levels fall below
95 percent, epidemiologists explain,
the disease in check. And measles is
highly contagious. The virus floats
for hours.
Of the 52 measles cases linked
to the Disneyland outbreak, six of
the afflicted had been vaccinated.
Health officials note that for a few
people, vaccinations don’t produce a
strong enough antibody response to
stop the disease entirely. But these
patients tend to have far milder ver-
sions of measles and are less likely
to pass it on to others.
Measles is especially dangerous
to pregnant women and the very
young. Some of the victims at Disne-
yland were children not old enough
to be vaccinated.
The WHO worries that the
anti-vaccination movement in the
U.S. and Europe may invade less
rich countries, such as Brazil, India,
China, Indonesia and Nigeria. Then
we could have enormous populations
spreading an epidemic.
That’s why the WHO put “vaccine
hesitancy” right up there with an Eb-
ola outbreak and influenza pandemic
as being among the 10 biggest
threats to world health in 2019.
California passed a law in 2016
mandating vaccinations. An-
ti-vaxxers challenged it and lost.
In explaining its decision, the state
appeals court quoted from a 1944
U.S. Supreme Court ruling: “The
right to practice religion freely does
not include the liberty to expose the
community ... to ill health or death.”
Clearly, the states must lead the
charge in fighting the irresponsible
and scientifically illiterate opposi-
tion to vaccination.

In Washington

Shutdown goes on as President Trump’s Bolton’s test: Massaging Trump tweets

into foreign policy
WASHINGTON — In President Donald

offer doesn’t budge Democrats
By JILL COLVIN  sition as he tries to win at least
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Thirty-one
days into the partial government
shutdown, Democrats and Republi-
cans appeared no closer to ending
the impasse than when it began,
with President Donald Trump lash-
ing out at his opponents after they
dismissed a plan he’d billed as a
compromise.
Trump on Sunday branded
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a “rad-
ical” and said she was acting “irra-
tionally.” The president also tried to
fend off criticism from the right, as
conservatives accused him of em-
bracing “amnesty” for immigrants
in the country illegally.
Trump offered on Saturday to
temporarily extend protections for
young immigrants brought to the
country illegally as children and
those fleeing disaster zones in ex-
change for $5.7 billion for his bor-
der wall. But Democrats said the
three-year proposal didn’t go near-
ly far enough.
“No, Amnesty is not a part of
my offer,” Trump tweeted Sunday,
noting that he’d offered temporary,
three-year extensions — not per-
manent relief. But he added: “Am-
nesty will be used only on a much
bigger deal, whether on immigra-
tion or something else.”
The criticism from both sides
underscored Trump’s boxed in-po-
some Democratic buy-in without
alienating his base.
With hundreds of thousands
of federal workers set to face an-
other federal pay period without
paychecks, the issue passed to the
Senate, where Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell has agreed to
bring Trump’s proposal to the floor
this week.
Democrats say there’s little
chance the measure will reach the
60-vote threshold usually required
to advance legislation in the Senate.
Republicans have a 53-47 majority,
which means they need at least
some Democrats to vote in favor.
McConnell has long tried to
avoid votes on legislation that is
unlikely to become law. And the
Kentucky Republican has said for
weeks that he has no interest in
“show votes” aimed only at forcing
members to take sides after Trump
rejected the Senate’s earlier biparti-
san bill to avert the shutdown.
What’s unclear is how McCon-
nell will bring Trump’s plan forward
— or when voting will begin. The
Republican leader is a well-known
architect of complicated legislative
maneuvers. One question is wheth-
er he would allow a broader immi-
gration debate with amendments to
Trump’s plan on the Senate floor.
McConnell spokesman David
Popp said Sunday, “When we have
(a plan) we will be sure to let every-
one know.”
One key Republican, Sen. James
Lankford of Oklahoma, said that he
and other lawmakers had been en-
couraging the White House to put
an offer on the table — any offer —
to get both sides talking.
“Get something out there the
president can say, ‘I can support
this,’ and it has elements from both
sides, put it on the table, then open
it up for debate,” Lankford said on
ABC’s “This Week.”
“The vote this week in the Senate
is not to pass the bill, it is to open up
and say ‘Can we debate this? Can we
amend it? Can we make changes?’”
Lankford said. “Let’s find a way to
be able to get the government open
because there are elements in this
that are clearly elements that have
been supported by Democrats
strongly in the past.”
“The president really wants to
come to an agreement here. He
has put offers on the table,” said
Rep Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on NBC’s
“Meet the Press.” ‘’The responsible
thing for the Democrats to do is put
a counteroffer on the table if you
don’t like this one.”
Vice President Mike Pence said
on “Fox News Sunday” that Trump
had “set the table for a deal that will
address the crisis on our border, se-
cure our border and give us a path-
way” to reopen the government.
Trump’s Washington, matters of war and peace
are decided in 280-character bursts. It’s up to
John Bolton to massage them into a foreign policy.
The mustachioed national security adviser de-
veloped a reputation as a bureaucratic bulldozer
through more than three decades in and out of
government. But the wrangling over Trump’s de-
cision to pull troops out of Syria demanded a new
skill — the ability to dramatically redraft the pres-
ident’s policy without provoking a hint of protest
from the commander in chief.
When Trump announced on Dec. 19 that he
saw no need for U.S. troops to remain in Syria,
senior U.S. officials expected the Trump-ordered
withdrawal to be completed within a month.
Aides, lawmakers and overseas allies were beside
themselves with concern that the U.S. was betray-
ing its Kurdish allies in the fight against the Is-
lamic State and ceding influence in the region to
Iran and Russia. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis
quit in protest.
But one month after Trump declared that U.S.
forces were “coming back now” and White House
press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said
the administration had “started returning Unit-
ed States troops home,” the drawdown of U.S.
troops has only just begun. The explanation, se-
nior White House officials said, is the behind-the-
scenes effort by Bolton.
Bolton was always an unlikely pick to be
Trump’s third national security adviser, with a
world view seemingly ill-fit to the president’s iso-
lationist “America First” pronouncements. He’s
espoused hawkish foreign policy views dating
back to the Reagan administration and became
a household name over his vociferous support
for the Iraq War as the U.S. ambassador to the
U.N. under George W. Bush. Bolton even briefly
considered running for president in 2016, in part
to make the case against the isolationism that
Trump would come to embody.

Ex-Nissan chairman Ghosn asks for bail, promises not to flee

By YURI K AGEYAMA  Nissan Motor Co., and breach of
AP Business Writer
TOKYO — Nissan’s former
Chairman Carlos Ghosn is promis-
ing to wear an electronic monitor-
ing ankle bracelet, give up his pass-
port and pay for security guards
approved by prosecutors to gain
release from detention on bail.
Ghosn, 64, has been in custody
since his arrest on Nov. 19. He was
due for a bail hearing Monday. A
Tokyo court rejected his request for
bail last week.
“As the court considers my bail
application, I want to emphasize
that I will reside in Japan and re-
spect any and all bail conditions the
court concludes are warranted,” he
said in a statement shared with The
Associated Press through a repre-
sentative of Ghosn and his family.
He has been charged with fal-
sifying financial reports in under-
reporting his compensation from
trust in having Nissan shoulder
investment losses and pay a Saudi
businessman.
“I am not guilty of the charges
against me and I look forward to de-
fending my reputation in the court-
room; nothing is more important to
me or to my family,” he said.
Ghosn’s latest request includes
an offer to rent a Tokyo apartment,
where he promises to live. The pro-
posal for him to wear a monitoring
device is not standard for Japanese
bail but is often included in U.S. bail
conditions. No trial date has been
set.
In Japan, suspects are often kept
in detention until trials start, espe-
cially those who assert innocence,
in what has been criticized as “hos-
tage justice.” Tokyo prosecutors
contend that Ghosn is a flight risk
and that he might tamper with ev-
idence. Legal experts, including
Ghosn’s lawyers, say preparations
for trials as complex as Ghosn’s can
take six months or longer.
Ghosn has said the compensa-
tion he allegedly under-reported
was never decided upon. He also
says Nissan never suffered any
losses from his own investments
and the payments to the Saudi busi-
nessman were for legitimate ser-
vices for Nissan’s business in the
Gulf.
He has been held in austere
conditions at the Tokyo Detention
Center, allowed visits only by em-
bassy officials, lawyers and prose-
cutors. His wife, Carole Ghosn, has
expressed worries about his health
and appealed to Human Rights
Watch about what she saw as his
unfair and harsh treatment.
A Brazilian-born Frenchman of
Lebanese ancestry, with work expe-
rience in the U.S., Ghosn was sent
to Nissan in 1999 by Renault SA of
France, which owns 43 percent of
Nissan.

Reports: MSU’s Huff

going to Alabama
From Staff and Wire Reports

The ripples from the changes on the Alabama

football team’s coaching staff have hit Mississippi
State.
According to multiple media reports,
Alabama will add Mississippi State
assistant head coach, run game
coordinator, and running backs
coach Charles Huff to its staff for
the 2019 season.
The move is the latest in a
reshuffling to coach Nick
Saban’s staff. Since the end of
the 2018 season, there have been Huff
multiple reports that Alabama
will add Steve Sarkisian to its offensive staff.
The move is just one of multiple moves that will
reshape the coaching staff of the Southeastern
Conference champions, who lost to No. 2 Clem-
son in the College Football Playoff National
Championship Game.
Huff was new MSU head coach Joe Moor-
head’s first hire in Starkville on Dec. 1, 2017, one

BRADY WORKS OT MAGIC AGAIN FOR PATS

By BARRY WILNER
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s the
dead of winter, meaning the weath-
er in New England can be brutal.
And that the Patriots are headed to
the Super Bowl.
It took them overtime and more
of Tom Brady’s brilliance to get
there — for the third straight year.
While the folks back home dealt
with a frigid storm, Brady blew
through Kansas City’s exhausted
defense on a 75-yard drive to Rex
Burkhead’s 2-yard touchdown run
in a 37-31 victory Sunday for the
AFC championship.
Rams 26,
Saints 23, OT
Patriots 37, Chiefs 31, OT
The drive, during which New En-
gland (13-5) had three third-down
conversions, was reminiscent of
when it beat Atlanta in the only Su-
per Bowl to go to OT two years ago.
“Overtime, on the road against a
great team,” Brady said. “They had
no quit. Neither did we. We played
our best football at the end. I don’t
know, man, I’m tired. That was a
hell of a game.”
Awaiting them in Atlanta are the
Los Angeles Rams, who won 26-23
in overtime in New Orleans for the
NFC championship. The Rams (15-
3) last made the Super Bowl in 2002
while based in St. Louis, losing to
the Patriots.
New England benefited from two
critical replay reviews and made
its ninth Super Bowl with Brady at
quarterback and Bill Belichick as
coach.
“This is crazy,” said Brady, who
was 30-for-46 for 348 yards. “What
a game.”
It’s the first time both confer-
ence title games went to OT. The
last time both visitors won confer-
ence championship matches was
2012; New England was 3-5 on the
road this season.

lift Rams
past Saints
By PAUL NEWBERRY
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS — A
big comeback. A blown
call. And, finally, a boom-
ing kick that sent the Los
Angeles Rams to the Su-
per Bowl.
After rallying from
a 13-0 deficit, the Rams
stunned the New Orleans
Saints with Greg Zuer-
lein’s 57-yard field goal in
overtime for a 26-23 victo-
ry in the NFC champion-
ship game Sunday — an
outcome that might not
have been possible with-
out an egregious mistake
by the officials in the clos-
ing minutes of regulation.

Wil Lutz’s 31-yard field
goal that made it 23-20
with 1 minute, 41 seconds
left in regulation.
“Came to the sideline,
looked at the football gods
and was like, ‘Thank you,’ ”
Robey-Coleman said. “I got
away with one tonight.”
After the no-call, Jared
Goff had enough time to
lead the Rams down the

Ole Miss wins again;
Tigers outlast Tide
From Special Reports
OXFORD — Senior Shandricka Sessom had
19 points and six rebounds Sunday to lead the
Ole Miss women’s basketball team to a 76-66
victory against Florida at The Pavilion at Ole
Miss.
The victory marks the first time
in two years that the Rebels (8-11,
Roundup
2-3 Southeastern Conference) have
won consecutive games in the league.
Ole Miss shot a SEC season-high 50.9 percent
from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range,
and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line.
“What the win at Kentucky did was to allow
us to coach harder, and the young ladies to be a
little bit more open,” Ole Miss head coach Yolett
McPhee-McCuin said. “They’re locked in. They
believe. They trust, and that takes a long time to
happen, and it’s really tough to convince some-
one to trust when you’re not winning.”
Senior La’Karis Salter had career highs with

halftime.
“I think the biggest thing for us is coming out
and playing hard and making the first punch,”
Salter told SEC Network following the game.
“We had some rough losses in the beginning
and even here, so I think our first step was to
just come out with energy. Be energetic. This is
our home court, protect our home court, and just
come out and fight, and that was our goal for 40
minutes.”
Despite being outscored 22-14 by the Reb-
els in the third quarter, Florida used a 9-0 run
in the fourth quarter to cut the Ole Miss lead to
58-56 with 7 minutes, 9 seconds left to play. But
freshman Taylor Smith hit a layup before a Salter

Lewis early, he did so helmet
to helmet. Next weekend, we’ll
hear about Robey-Coleman
being fined for the collision —
even though, incredibly, no flag
was thrown.
“Came to the sideline, looked
at the football gods and was
like, ‘Thank you,’ ” Robey-Cole-
man said. “I got away with one
tonight.”
Such a big one that it kept
the Rams alive. Instead of a first
down and the chance to run
down the clock before making a
field goal, or score a touchdown
for a bigger lead, the Saints
wound up with Wil Lutz’s 31-
yard kick. That made it 23-20
with 1:41 left in regulation,
plenty of time for the Rams to
march to Greg Zuerlein’s tying
48-yard field goal.
“Greg The Leg” won it with a
57-yarder in OT. His heroics al-
most certainly never would have
come had the call on Robey-Cole-
man been made. And the fact the
defender led with his head into
Lewis’ helmet at a time when the
NFL is adamant that it’s doing
everything to get such hits out
of the sport should be even more
maddening.
“They felt like the players
— the player — arrived at the
same time that the ball did,”
Saints coach Sean Payton said,
trying to be diplomatic when he
had every right to rant and rave.
“They didn’t feel like it was an
interference call.
“Look, it’s a tough way to
lose a game, especially when
you’re in a position like that to
win it. It’s all the more reason
why we need more replay. We
lose a chance to go to the Super
Bowl with a call like that, it’s
just disappointing. But, credit
the Rams. They did a good job,
made the plays in the end when
they needed to.”
Plays that wouldn’t have ex-
isted if Bill Vinovich’s crew got
it right.
An argument often is made,
and rightly so, that plays seen in
slow motion become clearly ille-
gal, but at full speed in an increas-
ingly fast and physical game, they
look OK. That contention has no
place here; even at warp speed,
Robey-Coleman’s hit was obvi-
ously a penalty.
NFL senior vice president of
officiating Al Riveron “couldn’t
believe” no penalty call was
called on the play, Payton said.
“It’s tough to get over it,”
Payton said. “My problem with
it is, I just don’t know, if we were
playing pickup football in the
backyard ... it was as obvious
a call — and how two guys can
look at that and arrive at their
decision? It happened though.”
A few things happened in
Kansas City, too, where the
Patriots won 37-31, also in over-
time. These had more to do
with replay, with two critical
calls going New England’s way
in the fourth quarter.
The first, which required a
lengthy video review, involved
Julian Edelman muffing a punt.
The original call was that the
bouncing ball touched him.
Replays, even in stop motion,
seemed inconclusive, which
means the call will stand.
But Riveron and his staff in
New York saw enough evidence
that Edelman never made con-
tact with the football. Even Kan-
sas City’s laid-back coach, Andy
Reid, became highly demon-
strative with the overturned
decision. Who could blame him
considering how many dozens
of such calls stick with what on-
field officials determined?
The Chiefs, perhaps in a
dose of poetic justice, soon af-
ter intercepted a pass that went
off Edelman’s hands.
But later in the quarter, Chris
Hogan attempted a one-handed
catch on third down. Reid chal-
lenged, and replay indicated far
more evidence the ground helped
Hogan make the catch than the
previous review showed Edelman
whiffed on the ball.
No matter. The catch was
upheld, and six plays later, Sony
Michel scored a touchdown.
Chiefs linebacker Dee Ford
also went offside on the Patri-
ots’ final drive in regulation, ne-
gating an interception by Char-
varius Ward that could have
clinched a win. But there was
little controversy there.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan.
21). You’ll have increased con-
trol over your body, in all sorts
of ways — flexibility, strength
and, perhaps most impressively,
what comes out of your mouth.
Your words will be like magic
keys you arrange skillfully and
use to open realms once only
dreamed of. What you plant will
be ready for the world in August.
Pisces and Gemini adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 7, 5,
BABY BLUES 38, 2 and 18.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Focus on building relationships.
Human capital is the only real
wealth in the end, and it will pay
you in ways that make dollar
bills and gold bars seem incon-
sequential.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Why do you think you have
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
to say yes? If it’s because
someone makes you feel as if
you can’t say no, you’re being
unduly pressured. Perhaps it’s
time to recognize an imbalance
and set a boundary.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
The muses are right above you
— seeing what you see, only
from a slightly higher perspec-
tive. They’ll whisper in your
ear about it all, too, like giddy
gossips. But the final interpre-
tation? Well, that’s for you to
decide.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
There are times when you wish
you didn’t feel things so acutely,
but don’t equate strength with
heartlessness. It is because
you feel so deeply that you’ll be
stronger. Let yourself feel and
you’ll find out the truth of this.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Fit
matters today, pretty much
across the board. As it is with
clothes, just because they may
technically be able to be worn
doesn’t mean they fit well. In
relationships especially, there’s
a nice fit out there for you. Don’t
settle for less.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
There have been times when
you decided not to want be-
cause wanting is a risk. Wanting
sets a person up for possible
disappointment. The way to
want well is to want what’s best
for all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Inside a fast car, the scenery is
a blur. To someone who’s very
far away, the “fast” car seems
to be inching along the land-
scape. Since speed is relative,
only judge your own, and do it
by feel. A good pace is the pace
that seems right to the one
doing the moving.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). If you could focus on
only one thing today, you’d do
well to focus on making sure
that people know how much
you appreciate them. Positive
interactions will make lasting
impressions.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You have a feeling that the
best is yet to come, and you’re
absolutely right about that. Part
of the way you keep your opti-
mism up is by remembering the
good that’s already happened.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Though of course you
could use anything at all as
a jumping-off place for your
imagination, it’s going to be an
easier, more joyful leap if you
follow your natural curiosity to
the inspiration.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Though it may seem that
compliments are nice things to
give, it’s not always the case.
Be mindful of status dynam-
ics at play. Complimenting a
superior is particularly tricky. If
you’re not sure, err on the side
of formality.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). When you’re tired, you
need to either relax or do the
opposite — get thrilled — be-
cause excitement jump-starts
your energy, too. You don’t
have to decide between the
two today, though. The universe
decides for you.
