6 MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 2008 National and World News FROM THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL Dems trade barbs on racial comment NEW YORK (AP) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Sunday that Barack Obama's campaign had injected racial tension into the presidential contest, saving her comments about Martin Luther King's role in the civil rights movement had been “distorted" by Obama's supporters. Sen. Hiilary Clinton recently was quoted as saying King's dream of racial equality was real ized only when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. GOP candidates storm Michigan YPSILANH. Mich. (AP) -Mitt Romney and John McCain argued about their concern for the auto industry while Mike Huckabee spotlighted his opposition to abortion as the Republican presi dential contenders campaigned Saturday before Michigan's poten tially make-or-break primary . Economics were a focal point because Michigan's unemploy ment rate, at 7.4 percent in November, is a full percentage point higher than any other state. It also is about 50 percent higher than the national average. WRESTLING fROM PAGE 12 they're tough on top." Maryland (9-3,1-0) proved to be just that. Going up against two North Carolina freshmen, UM’s com bination of seventh-ranked 174- pounder Mike Letts and No. 18 184-pounder Josh Haines earned two straight wins, including a major decision from Letts, to pull within one point of the Tar Heels at 14-13 with two matches remain ing. And the Maryland onslaught didn't stop there. The Terrapins got a pin from eighth-ranked 197- pounder Hudson Taylor with 0:29 remaining against a familiar oppo nent. UNC's Dennis Drury. "They've been going back and forth for years." Grant said. “They S|HH ARCTERYX Big montrail a&LE mm i/m West FrankKn Streel I ™the back side of UnivcraKy Square] mm Granville Towers) I J2i!3sp 929-76261 10-7 M-SatT tt-6 Sun I Bush delivers harsh criticism of Iran during speech in Middle East ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) President Bush gently nudged authoritar ian Arab allies Sunday to satisfy' frustrated desires for democ racy in the Mideast and saved his harshest criticism for Iran, branding it "the world's leading state-sponsor of terror." The warning about Iran was much tougher than Bush's admo nition about spreading democra cy in the Middle East, which had been billed as the central theme of his speech. Busb did not single out any country for criticism. He praised Some Baathists can reclaim jobs BAGHDAD (AP) - Iraq's parliament passed a benchmark law Saturday allowing lower ranking former members of Saddam Hussein's Baath party to reclaim government jobs, the first major piece of U.S.-backed legislation it has adopted. The seismic piece of legisla tion had been demanded by the United States since November 2006 and represented the first legislative payoff for Bush's deci sion to deploy 30,000 addition al troops to the country to quell violence. The move was seen as a key step in the reconciliation process. “Coming off 'a 1055 ... and wrestling some body you know in your heart you can beat , you try to put a little smackdown on 'em.'' A.J. GRANT, ASSISTANT COACH wrestled each other in high school and everything else." The pin gave Maryland a 19-14 lead it would not relinquish as Tar Heel junior heavyweight Justin Dobies could not score either a technical fall or a pin in his match against Patrick Gilmore. Early in the first round, Dobies took Gilmore down and nearly earned the pin, sending the UNC crowd into a frenzy . But the Terps' heavyweight managed to escape Dobies' grasp. "1 got the highcrotch and took him down," Dobies said. “But some democratic reforms in Arab countries. He urged lead ers to show support for the fragile Iraqi government, open their societies and provide back ing, and possible money, to help make an Israeli-Palestinian agreement stick. Bush's blistering words about Iran appeared intended to reas sure Arab allies about U.S. readiness to confront Tehran. There have been doubts about Washington's intentions because of anew U.S. intelligence report that said Iran had stopped pur suing nuclear weapons in 2003. Iran will discuss nuclear activity VIENNA, Austria (AP) Iran's leaders agreed to answer all remaining questions about their country’s past nuclear activities witbin four weeks in talks with the U.N.’s chief nucle ar inspector, his spokeswoman said Sunday. The spokeswoman also said International Atomic Energy Agency chief Mohamed Elßaradei received new informa tion on Iran's “new generation of centrifuges" —a priority as the agency tries to establish how far advanced Iran is in developing the technology, which could be used in a weapons program. unfortunately he rolled a little too far." For the rest of the match, Dobies couldn't get another opportunity as good as the initial takedown and did not win by a large enough margin to give UNC the win. With less than half an hour between the match with Maryland and a showdown with Division-II opponent Belmont Abbey (2-1), the Tar Heels had little time to get the tough loss out of their minds which provided ample motiva tion for the next bout. “Coming off of a loss to an ACC team and wrestling somebody that you know in your heart you can beat, you try to put a little smack down on 'em," Grant said. And that is just what the Tar Heels did, picking up three pins and two technical falls en route to a 48-0 thrashing of the Crusaders, UNC's largest team victory since 1998.

W f DTH/LAUREN COWART UNC sophomore forward Alex Stepheson fronts N.C. State freshman J.J. Hickson. Stepheson combined with Deon Thompson and Danny Green to block nine shots in a stellar defensive performance for the Tar Heels. DEFENSE FROM PAGE 12 "We know what we've got to do to get better, and that's getting better on the defensive end. That's little things, boxing out and just playing our principles the right way coacli asks us to. So we did that tonight, and it worked out for us." Williams said he wasn't pleased with the defense in the second half ROAD WIN FROM PAGE 12 and Rashanda McCants joined Larkins in the double-digits cat egory. “All the people in the post area, they used tbeir pivot foot extremely well to create shot attempts," N.C. State coach Kay Yow said of North Carolina. "They go to the boards really strong, as strong as any team that I think we'll play all year." The Tar Heels recorded only five rebounds more than the Wolfpack (12-5, 0-2). hut they made those rebounds count, as UNC notched 31 second-chance points compared to N.C. State's eight. “It was real physical both teams have great post players," Pringle said. “I think each team was just trying to limit the touches that the big girls had." While tbe Tar Heels made a con scious effort to work the ball into the paint. N.C. State seemed content to take jumpers and sh<x>t from long range as Shayia Fields hit three 3- pointers to lead the Wolfpack with 17 points. N.C. State continued to threaten throughout the game, coming within two points with almost five minutes remaining. But whenever the home team pulled within reach or hit a trey to fire up the red-clad crowd, the Tar Heels continued to exercise what had been effective for them all game. “I just think we reverted back to the Wolfpack shot 58 percent from the field —but the first-half effort was finally some of what he was asking for. “When we play defense, are really swarming, doing W'hat we are supposed to do and listen ing to the scouting report, then I think we are pretty doggone good." he said. And with the defense clicking on all cylinders to match the offense. UNC 79, N.C. State 70 North Carolina 36 43 79 N.C.

When UNC visited Reynolds Coliseum last year, the Wolfpack turned out a 72-65 upset win against then-No. 2 North Carolina, but this time UNC kept up their intensity throughout and never trailed. UNC had a response for all of the Wolfpack's runs, and Hatchell summed up the reason for her team’s victory after the game. “I w as proud of my whole team," she said. “Every time State would make a run we seemed to step it up a notch and answer."
