WORLD BRIEFING cease-fire GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel and the Hamas militant group agreed to a cease-fire Wednesday to end eight days of the fiercest fight- ing in nearly four years, promising to halt air strikes and rocket attacks that have killed scores and to discuss easing an Israeli blockade constrict- ing the Gaza Strip. Israel and Palestinian militants reach Gaza emerged from their homes after a week, flooding the streets in wild celebration. Gunmen fired in the air, and chants of ''God is Great'' echoed from mosque loudspeak- ers. Residents hugged and kissed in celebration, while others distributed candy and waved Hamas flags.

In return, Morsi rockets hit southern Israel until an hour after the cease-fire deadline, authorities said, and schools in the region planned to stay shut Thursday as a precaution in case rockets continue to be launched. The deal was brokered by the new Islamist gov- ernment of Egypt, solidi- fying its role as a leader in the quickly shifting Mid- dle East after two days of intense shuttle diplomacy that saw U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton race to the region. Under the agreement, Egypt will play a key role in maintaining the peace. leader CAIRO (AP) — The Gaza cease-fire deal reached Thursday marks a startling trajectory for Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi: an Islamist leader who refus- es to talk to Israelis or even say the country's name mediated for it and finally turned himself into Israel's de facto protector. The accord inserts Egypt to an unprecedent- ed degree into the conflict New role for Egypt's Islamist Served 6:30am-2pm 7 days a week emerged as a major regional player. He won the trust of the United States and Israel, which once worried over the rise of an Islamist leader in Egypt but throughout the week-long Gaza crisis saw him as the figure most able to deliver a deal with Gaza's Hamas rulers. ''I want to thank Presi- dent Morsi for his person- al leadership to de-esca- late the situation in Gaza and end the violence,'' U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who met Morsi Thursday, said at a Cairo press con- ference with Egypt's for- eign minister announcing the accord. ''This is a critical moment for the region.

Others adjusted their travel schedules to try to save money, flying on less popular days or to airports that were a bit farther from their destination. The weather, along with the economy, handed set- backs to some. Heavy fog shrouded Chicago, causing more than 1,600 delays or cancellations in and out of its two airports and sending ripples around the nation. The effects of Superstorm Sandy added to the hassle for travelers on the East Coast. year-old senior at Boston College from West Chester, Penn., had hoped to com- bine his trip home for Thanksgiving with a med- ical school interview in Philadelphia, but the storm delayed his interview, so he'll have to make an extra trip home next month. He figured that would cost him another $200. ''It killed me,'' McLaughlin said of the financial impact of the storm, which also left his parents without power for eight days.

The letters, discovered recently during renova- tions at a former Denver pharmacy owned by Japanese-Americans, provide a glimpse into life in some of the 10 camps where 110,000 people of Japanese ancestry, including U.S. citizens, from the West Coast were forced to live during the war.
