WASHINGTON — A polio survivor and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., responded harshly on Friday to a New York Times revelation that a prominent attorney and longtime advisor to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had asked the FDA to withdraw clearance of the polio vaccine.

According to McConnell's comments to NBC News, the polio vaccine has prevented millions of...

In Rhode Island, Nicholas Alahverdian was well-known for being an ardent supporter of children in the foster care system. He was honored on the statehouse floor and in local press coverage following his apparent death from cancer four years ago.
