ROUND 1: lOWA CAUCUSES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, lowa —John Kerry and John Edwards rode llth-hour surges to a one-two finish in lowa’s kickoff presidential caucuses Monday, dealing a stunning blow to favorite Howard Dean. Kerry’s comeback blew the nomination fight wide open, setting the stage for a free-for-all in New Hampshire’s follow-up primary. Dean finished third, stripped of his front-runner’s mantle and humbled—“We’re still alive,” he said. Rep. Dick Gephardt finished a weak fourth and planned to end his 33-year political career by pulling out of the race Tuesday. His campaign given up for dead just weeks ago, Kerry predicted another comeback in New Hampshire’s Jan. 27 primary. “As I’ve said in New Hampshire and here, I’m a fighter,” the four-term Massachusetts senator told The Associated Press. “I’ve come from behind before and I’m going to take the same fight that I’ve been making here to New Hampshire.” Edwards, 50, also claimed momentum ‘This campaign, this cause, this movement is about bringing real change to America,” the North Carolina senator told supporters. “You and I can build an America and an image of America that we will be proud of.” Just two weeks ago, before the lowa race turned testy and tumultuous, Dean and Gephardt sat atop the field in lowa, with SEE KERRY ON PAGE 10

Charles Ogletree, litigator and Jesse Climenko Professor of Law at Harvard University, was the featured speaker at an open dialogue at the Law School and at the annual Sunday Chapel service commemorating Martin Luther King, Jr. The dialogue, entided “Assessing the dream: Where are we now?” included a speech by Ogletree and an ensuing question and answer period. In describing the status of race relations in America, Ogletree took a middle-of-the-road stance: “We’ve come a long way and we have a long way to go,” he said. However, he asserted that race issues have long played a role in society, far beyond what most people recognize. ‘Whatever the situation, race has always been a divisive issue,” Ogletree said, noting at one point that even the audience was largely separated by race. Ogletree discussed what he called “the history and reality” of race-related issues in America. He spoke about black communities in the 1920s—products of segregation. During that period, he said, blacks experienced solid growth in local economies and businesses, including movie theaters, newspapers and hotels. A dollar would change hands 35 times before it left circulation in those communities, but today it hardly

General Motors Corp. is beginning to imagine a world of cars no longer running on fossil fuels. To further their goal, the University will work with GM on a multi-year, interdisciplinary teaching and research project aimed at developing a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle by 2010, officials from both institutions announced last Tuesday. “Fuel cells represent a radical technology. If this technology is accepted, it will mean major implications in the way business will be run and how consumers will be affected,” said Deputy Dean of Fuqua School of Business Richard Staelin. “So, both research and teaching will be involved in how this technology will affect organizational structure and consumer behavior.” Faculty and graduate students from Fuqua, in collaboration with the Pratt School of Engineering and the Terry SanSEE FUEL CELL ON PAGE 13
