  3. Obama enjoys a party, just not with Congress

  4. Back Story: Learning history on the road

    Sharon Boston, media relations manager at University of Maryland Medical Center, normally spends her days fielding requests from the media. But when it comes to weekends and vacations, it's a safe bet that she's on the road, traveling to visit homes once occupied by presidents, writers and other historic personages.

  7. Harry Truman, Lincoln's heir

    Presidents Day, which falls between the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, celebrates the contributions of those presidents. But here's a nomination for another president worth remembering on this long weekend: Harry Truman, the first of the presidents who succeeded Lincoln to accomplish anything of consequence to redress the injustices that black Americans continued to suffer long after their emancipation.

  10. Obama's new vision: Doable?

    In his first State of the Union address of his second term, President Obama delivered the most forceful defense of liberal values uttered on this occasion by any president since Lyndon Johnson.

  11. Heat witnessing impact of new CBA

    Sunday notes: The revamped Raptors, Rockets show the Heat the NBA's new direction. Will it eventually impact their own Big Three? Also: Patrick Beverley returns; Bosh vs. Kyrie; and no trash.
