CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Many New Hampshire students are returning to school this week, but Republican Gov. Chris Sununu hopes they'll savor summer for a bit longer next year. Sununu on Tuesday created a commission to study whether schools should be required to start after Labor Day, a step some other states already have taken.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Joe Manchin stepped between John McCain's desk and empty chair and looked down at the white roses topping the black fabric draped across it. In one quick movement, he crossed himself, kissed his fingers and touched them to the cloth.

Only four of them know a Senate without McCain, who was elected in 1986 and had become a mentor and moral compass to newcomers. Читать дальше...

SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) — Construction crews have already put up the frame on Cheri Sharp's new house, but she still questions whether rebuilding was the right choice after California's most destructive wildfire took her old home in wine country nearly a year ago.
