Olympic torch arrives in US: media
The Olympic torch arrived here on Tuesday for its only US stop amid a series of protests and calls for a boycott of the Beijing games over China's human rights record, US media said.
The Special Olympics torch, headed for opening ceremonies Friday night at Southern Connecticut State University, passed through Fairfield Friday afternoon, with 13 Fairfield Police officers, several Special Olympians and a handful of supporters jogging along the Post Road.
