"It is for us the living ... to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced," Abraham Lincoln said in the Gettysburg Address, speaking of the responsibility of the living to carry on the mission of those who died in battle, and people today can do no more to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. than to carry on his mission of a colorblind society, Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Waco, said Monday.Edwards was the featured speaker at a program honoring King sponsored by the Temple chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Wayman Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church."It is not our words today, but our actions tomorrow," that will see King's dream come true, Edwards said. "Let us not rest until we have true equality. In big ways and in small ways, let us work together for national unity."Edwards said he had thought about what lessons could be learned from King's life and philosophy about the tragedy caused in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. by Anna Foster

Bill Cowher's forte as a player was special teams. His area of expertise as an assistant coach was defense.So what did the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach want to talk about Monday? His team's offense."We've always been a team that says, 'We're going to run the football,'" Cowher said as he began preparation for Sunday's AFC championship game against New England. "There was never any question we could do that. But if we have to throw the football, there's a confidence about that now. The confidence that's always been there on defense is there on offense now."That was one of the anomalies about this weekend's games to determine the conference finalists: The Steelers and Rams, the heavy favorites to be playing in the Super Bowl a week from Sunday, both won thanks to top production from their perceived weaknesses.The offensive-minded Rams play much better defense than they're given credit for. Similarly, the defensive-minded Steelers are good on offense, too.St. Louis, playing in its dome, is an early double-digit favorite over Philadelphia, which it beat in overtime on the road on opening day. The Steelers are favored to beat the Patriots by about a touchdown.Both seem to be peaking at the right time.The Rams beat the Green Bay Packers 45-17 Sunday, but the surprise wasn't so much the 45 points as it was the way they came: 28 off six interceptions on a day when the offense had its worst game statistically this season, with only 292 yards from scrimmage. by The Associated Press
