Namesake street mirrors society's woes (Cardboard boxes)

Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, named for the late civil rights leader who would have turned 78 today, stretches for 13 blocks along downtown Wilmington's southern edge. A bus yard, the train station and a few offices flank its divided asphalt.
PORTLAND, Ore. - Matt Halfhill is crazy about sneakers. He worked in a shoe store as a teenager, buying shoes on clearance. He has charmed his wife with kicks, buying limited edition pink and red Nikes...
Chinese police have detained two people who are suspected of murdering a man and mailing his body parts to three different cities.
Imagine being able to tiptoe into Martin Luther King Jr.'s study and peek over his shoulder as the civil rights leader crafted his sermons.
