Harvin honored in somber ceremony SUMMERTON — Rep. Alex Harvin III, the longest serving member of the South Carolina House, was remembered as dedicated to his community, during his funeral here. His widow, Cathy Harvin, accepted a folded state flag Monday evening from Maj. Eddie Johnson of the South Carolina Highway Patrol, following a ceremony attended by hundreds of people. Harvin died Oct. 11 at age 55. The Democrat had been a member of the House since 1977 and served as majority leader from 1982 to 1986. Cathy Harvin said she felt blessed to have had Harvin in her life. “When you have a life mate that is dedicated to the community the way that Alex was, it’s a real inspiration,” she said. Harvin’s colleagues remembered his cheerful spirit, his consideration for others and his constant concern for Clarendon County. “If he were here today, he would first be honored by your presence, and somewhat embarrassed that he might have put you out,” said Sen. John Land, D-Manning. And, Land added to laughter from the crowd, “probably tomorrow, you’d get a letter from him.” Nation Sept. 11 memorial could be ‘immersive’ NEW YORK — Visitors to the Sept. 11 memorial museum could relive the 2001 terrorist attacks in an “immersive” area that surrounds them with pictures of the falling towers, the sounds of police sirens and the last words of some of those who died at the World Trade Center. The plans, presented in public workshops over the past month, offer the first glimpse of an institution that is likely to become one of the country’s most visited museums. The ideas are also likely to prompt sensitive questions of how to tell the story of Sept. 11. One possible exhibit would focus on a fact-based account of the attack in New York, as well as the crashes of hijacked jets into the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania, field. The other, “immersive” experience would try to make visitors feel as if they were in the towers, with the sounds of sirens and even voicemail messages left on Sept. 11 by those who died. The exhibit “is not necessarily appropriate for children,” museum planner Jeff Howard said. Some family members favored the no-holds-barred look at the attacks, saying many people still do not grasp the devastation and horror of Sept. 11. Development officials said they may revise the plans after hearing more from the public. World Hussein’s attorney to request trial delay BAGHDAD, Iraq — The lawyer for Saddam Hussein said Tuesday he will ask a tribunal for a three-month adjournment of the former Iraqi dictator’s trial for a 1982 massacre. Saddam and seven senior members of his 23-year regime go on trial Wednesday to face charges they ordered the killings of nearly 150 people from the mainly Shiite town of Dujail following a failed attempt on Saddam’s life. Khalil Dulaimi told The Associated Press he would ask during Wednesday’s opening session for more time to prepare Saddam’s defense and arrange for Arab and Western lawyers to join him in the defense team. The defense also will challenge the court’s -- —***r-— —/ “We will dispute the legitimacy of the court as we’ve been doing every day. We will claim it is unconstitutional and not competent to try the legitimate president of Iraq,” Dulaimi said. Saddam was in high spirits and “very optimistic” on the eve of the start of his trial, Dulaimi said. If convicted, Saddam and his co-defendants could face the death penalty, but they could appeal before another chamber of the special tribunal set up to try the former leader and officials from his ousted regime. Saddam and his co defendants are expected to hear the charges against them during Wednesday’s hearing.
