State
Rep. 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.”

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.
