Day Four

In the trial’s most chilling testimony yet, a young accuser said he screamed for help in the basement of ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky—but no one answered. Diane Dimond reports.

Outrage

Egyptians are calling for protests Friday after the country's Supreme Constitutional Court ruled the Islamist-led Parliament invalid and to allow Ahmed Shafik, the last prime minister to serve under former dictator Hosni Mubarak, to run in a presidential-runoff election. The ruling has plunged the nation into renewed chaos, and the interim military rulers plan to announce that a new constitution will be written by a 100-person assembly. The runoff between the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi and Shafik is set for the weekend.

MONEY PROBLEMS

Defensive

Russia responded Friday to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's charges that Moscow was sending new attack helicopters to Syria, denying that any arms deal goes beyond "defensive" technology. "There are no new deliveries of Russian military helicopters to Syria," the Foreign Ministry said on its website. Clinton said Washington had information that choppers were on their way to Damascus, but the ministry said there were only "previously planned repairs of military equipment delivered to Syria many years ago."

Rebuild

President Obama visited the new 1 World Trade tower Thursday, hailing the rebuilding and signing one of the final steel beams that will be added to the building. "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" Obama wrote. He and the first lady went up to the 22nd floor and stared down at the National September 11 Memorial below. "It's beautiful," he said of the two massive fountains that mark where the twin towers once stood. "You don't expect how powerful it is."
