It set the stage for a wideopen Republican showdown in South Carolina in just four days. Three GOP candidates now have won in the first four states to vote in the 2008 primary season, roiling a nomination fight that lacks a clear favorite as the race moves south for the first time. • The former Massachusetts governor defeated John McCain, the Arizona senator who was hoping that independents and Democrats would join Republicans to help him repeat hjs 2000 triumph here. Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, trailed in third, and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson is making a last stand in South Carolina. "It's a victory of optimism over Washington-style pessimism," Romney said in an Associated Press telephone interview from Southfield, Mich., echoing his campaign speeches and taking a poke at McCain, the four-term senator he beat.

Mitt Romney speaks to his supporters at his primary election night rally, Tuesday, in Southfield, Mich. Romney won a key victory by winning his party's Michigan primary over New Hampshire winner John McCain. Minimizing the significance of Tuesday's vote, McCain said he had called Romney to congratulate him "that Michigan welcomed their native son with their support." "Starting tomorrow, we're going to win South Carolina, and we're going to go on and win the nomination," McCain declared, also in an AP interview from Charleston, S.C. with what we've seen, the use of the fear of terrorism in scoring political points, and I think that's a mistake," he said. Asked by NBC's Tim Russert whether she had meant to say terrorists would test Obama more than her, she replied, "No, of course not," before adding, "it matters who's president." Clinton, Obama and former Sen. John Edwards, the only white man among the candidates on stage, settled in for their debate as the former first lady won a meaningless Michigan presidential primary, a contest held in violation of party rules.

Nevada caucuses, the next forkeeps contest in the wide-open race for the party's presidential nomination. • Race dominated the debate at the outset, after several days of backand-forth that left many Democrats worried about an adverse impact on the party's prospects for the general election. Obama said "not only in hindsight, but going forward," he regretted that his staff had prodded reporters to pursue the issue. "Our supporters, our staff, get overzealous. They start saying things that I would not say," added the most viable black candidate in history. Georgia church leader surrenders on charge ATLANTA—The 80-yearold leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch turned himself over to authorities Tuesday night to face a charge that he lied under dath about his sexual affairs. A warrant for the arrest of Archbishop Earl Paulk was issued Monday after a probe by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The longtime pastor of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit at Chapel Hill Harvester Church made a deal with the Cobb County Sheriff's Office to surrender within 48 hours, said Nancy Bodiford, executive assistant to Sheriff Neil Warren. Paulk's attorney, Joel Pugh, said the warrant took the family by surprise. "We weren't expecting the warrant to be issued this quickly," Pugh said. The felony perjury charge against Paulk stems from a lawsuit against him, his brother Don and the church by Mona Brewer, a former church employee. The lawsuit alleges that Earl Paulk manipulated Brewer into an affair from 1989 to 2003 by telling her it was her only path to salvation. In a 2006 deposition for the lawsuit, the archbishop said under oath that the only woman he had ever had sex with outside of his marriage was Brewer. The results of a courtordered paternity test revealed in October that Paulk is the biological father of his brother's son, D.E. Paulk, who is now head pastor at the church. As part of Brewer's lawsuit, eight women have given sworn depositions that they were coerced into sexual relationships with Earl Paulk. A judge ordered the paternity test at the request of the Cobb County district attorney's office and the Bureau of Investigation. Earl and Don Paulk have been hit with lawsuits from former members alleging they were coerced into sexual affairs, but this is the first time criminal charges have been filed against the archbishop. Paulk has been in bad health for the past couple of years after a battle with cancer, limit-ing his activity with the independent charismatic church he and his brother founded in i960. COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—A bomb tore through a packed civilian bus Wednesday in southeastern Sri Lanka, killing 23 people and wounding 67 others, the Sri Lankan military said. The attack in the remote town of Buttala, about 150 miles southeast of Colombo, came as the government formally withdrew from a tattered cease-fire with Tamil Tiger rebels. Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara, who provided the casualty figures, said it was unclear if the bomb was on the bus or planted by the roadside. Senior Superintendent Daya Samaraweera, a local police official, said it was a roadside bomb and that gunshots were fired at the vehicle after the blast. U.S. bucks the trend, reports largest baby boom since 1961 ATLANTA—Bucking the trend in many other wealthy industrialized nations, the United States seems to be experiencing a baby boomlet, reporting the largest number of children born in 45 years. The nearly 4.3 million births in 2006 were mostly due to a bigger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics. That group accounted for nearly one-quarter of all U.S. births. But non-Hispanic white women and other racial and ethnic groups were having more babies, too. An Associated Press review of birth numbers dating to 1909 found the total number of U.S. births was the highest since 1961, near the end of the baby boom. An examination of global data also shows that the United States has a higher fertility rate than every country in continental Europe, as well as Australia, Canada and Japan. Fertility levels in those countries have been lower than the U.S. rate for several years, although some are on the rise, most notably in France. Experts believe there is a mix of reasons: a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty. Murder trial ordered in case of girl missing for 13 years PROVO—Two classmates of a Utah County girl who disappeared nearly 13 years ago will stand trial on murder charges, a judge said Tuesday. Kiplyn Davis' body has never been found. Authorities claim she was killed in May 1995 while on a break away from Spanish Fork High School. During five days of testimony, witnesses said Christopher Jeppson and Timmy Brent Olsen talked about how they killed the 15-year-old girl and buried her body in Spanish Fork or in Spanish Fork Canyon. Separately, Jeppson and Olsen have been convicted of perjury in federal court for lying about the case. "We're thankful for what happened," Kiplyn's father, Richard Davis, told reporters after 4th District Judge Lynn Davis said the pair will go to trial. "We're hoping somebody will finally tell us where she is. We want to bring Kiplyn home" Davis said. The judge cautioned that the legal threshold for ordering a trial is much lower than the burden of proof needed for a conviction. -.THE 4 6 Mahler's "Das 46 Citizen soldiers Lied von der 48 Trattoria order so Tony winner for Hollow "Sweeney Todd," Prefix with < 1979' spore S3 Edvard , Czech Sitting spot president and patrio Buzz $4 Label of Bing Crosby's "White Hawaiian root Christmas" Dr.'s order S6 Setting for Trattoria order many episodes of Twinkly, in a TV's "Gilmore Girls" way 58 Roomy dress D, for one 60 Filament holder Where T h y 61 Polling abbr. will" will be 62 Mother done, in part DAILY UTAH CHRONICLE 6 9 NEWS In Brief Bus bombing in Sri Lanka kills 23, injures 67 others Obama, Clinton vow to end race debate O-DAY WEATHER OUTLOOK ACROSS 1 Parts of churches appropriate to this puzzle 9 T V news crew 15 Decks 16 Put up 17 Really bizarre is Loads 19 Angular opening? 20 Follower of Max or Paul? 21 Ones with cool jobs? 22 Veronica of "Hill Street Blues" 21 Frenzied 26 " D o others www.dailyutahchronide.com 2 5 5 3 9 7 www.daiiyutahchronicle.com/contacts Editorial , Editor in Chief- m.piper@chronicle.utah.edu Press contact • press@chronicleMtah.edu Editorial tetterfletters@chronide.utQh.edu Business General Manager • j.sorensen@chronicle.utah.edu Director of Advertising • thurtado@dironidtutah.edu Advertising 801581:7041 News 801 581.NEWS Fax 801 581.FAXX EDITOR IN CHIEF Matthew Piper REDUX EDITOR Danny Letz GRAPHIC DESIGNER Russell Tabet ADVERTISING MANAGER Cynthia Robldoux MANAGING EDfTOR Becca Krahenbuhl PRODUCTION MANAGER KelliTompklns ASST.
