To those of us who were alive then, the images are etched in painful memory: One day, King is standing with colleagues, including Ralph Abernathy and Jesse Jackson, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel; the next, he&apos;s lying there mortally wounded, his aides pointing in the direction of the rifle shot.Then we remember the crowds of mourners slowly moving through the streets of Atlanta on a hot sunny day, surrounding King&apos;s casket as it was carried on a mule-drawn farm wagon;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/2010\/04\/03\/gop_must_fight_against_quottoo_big_to_failquot_231992.html\" >GOP Must Fight Against &#8220;Too Big to Fail&#8221; \t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/> Michael Barone, DC Examiner<br \/>Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, after spending  some time negotiating with committee Republicans Bob Corker and Richard  Shelby, has decided to advance major financial regulation legislation  without bipartisan support.

Was  Hillary Clinton trying to set a bilateral record for hostal abuse? Her  Ottawa visit has left many wondering: Why the rancour? Had she wanted to  be diplomatic, all of her criticisms could have been delivered in  private. She clearly did not want to be diplomatic.What appeared to be a smooth-running bilateral relationship suddenly  veered offside. But no one should be terribly surprised.
