REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR
On this 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, residents of Edenwald Retirement Community in Towson share their memories of Dec. 7, 1941 and the resulting World War II.
Here is an editorial from The Baltimore Sun on Dec. 8, 1941, which includes the declaration: "We have the right on our side. We have our unmeasured force. We shall win."
: Gov. Martin O'Malley has ordered flags to be lowered to mark the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
FROM LAST NIGHT...
: A man was struck yesterday afternoon by a light rail train just north of the Patapsco Station, according to Terry Owens, a spokesman for Maryland Transit Administration. He was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center and police are investigating the incident, Owens said.
: The Baltimore Sun's David Zurawik visited the longtime WBAL Radio host at his home in Pennsylvania yesterday.
: Prosecutors announced Tuesday that they have charged Tavon Davis, 24, and Bruce Eric Byrd, 26, with Isiah Callaway's murder in April, in a case that could bring the death penalty.
: "That's quite an ambitious goal, especially when you consider that the Orioles haven't won more than 70 games since 2005 and haven't had a winning season since they finished 20 games ahead of Duquette's fourth-place Red Sox on the way to their last division title in 1997," writes The Baltimore Sun's Peter Schmuck.
TODAY'S FRONT PAGE

: "The big deal is that this particular scheme cuts deep, to where a lot of people live, people who do not take lightly the right to vote and who have memories of poll taxes and literacy tests."
: Some ministers and church leaders don't like to discuss the disease because of the sensitive nature of the topic, which involves delving into topics -- gay sex, promiscuity and drug use -- that churches may not want to be seen as embracing or condoning.
