“Pro football was great to me,” Mr. Morris told The Boston Globe in 1979, when he announced he would retire after 15 seasons. At that point, he was on the cusp of a highly praised second career in sports broadcasting. Mr. Morris died Wednesday in Golden View Health Care Center in Meredith, N. H., his family said in an obituary tribute. He was 84 and died after “a long battle with dementia.” Get Starting PointA guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.

Frank O'Brien/Globe StaffIn 2011, Kraft called Mr. Morris to say he would be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame as the first player chosen by the new senior selection committee. “It was overwhelming,” Mr. Morris said in a statement then. “This announcement came as a complete surprise,” Mr.

He also warned that “those who looted will have to pay back, and those who sought to bring down the Republic will be held accountable.”On Sunday, the violence and protests had largely subsided, apart from sporadic skirmishes and looting involving small numbers of rioters in Paris, as the unrest gave way to political finger pointing. Politicians from the far left to the far right criticized the government for a police response deemed too weak or ill-prepared, with some calling for Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez to resign. Nuñez told journalists Saturday that the police had not been understaffed, but that it was hard to contain rioters “when they’re scattered in small groups.”Saturday’s unrest, which led to nearly 2,400 arrests, caused widespread damage to several symbols of the state. Among them was a 19th-century city hall largely destroyed by fire in Limoges, a town in central France renowned for its porcelain. Nearly 1,000 police officers were injured, France’s Interior Ministry said Sunday, including seven suffering from serious injuries.

“We love the tourists,” said Correen Demers, 50, better known in a gown of multicolored flowers as “Mother Nature of Salem.”“It’s just so much fun. The tips are just a bonus,” she added. Higher tourism numbers mean more people to entertain — but also fresh blood in the busking community. As a record number of new performers arrive in Salem, veteran buskers are banding together to protect the soul of their craft. Local business network Creative Collective is helping get things organized amid the huge crowds with a new pilot program that lets buskers rent a 5-by-5-foot area for a given day. “There [are] certain iconic folks [who] have spaces they love, so they can have them without getting into an argument with anyone,” said John Andrews, president of Creative Collective, a business support group for Essex County. Community feedback sparked the idea for rented busker spots. Andrews said he’d heard the concern that “as it’s become busier… people come from all over the world to be street performers.”A woman posed for a photo with an actor dressed as Michael Myers, the masked killer from the “Halloween” films, as fog swirled around them.

The growing season came to an end for much of the area Sunday morning, with many places away from the coast down into the 20s. If you didn’t cover or bring in tender vegetation, it’s likely gone. Look for a frosty start to Monday as well, but overall, this week won’t be as cold with high pressure building in from Canada. Monday will develop into a sunny day with highs in the upper 50s to 60. Highs on Monday should reach the upper 50s, with a few spots touching 60 degrees. Boston GlobeOur next brewing nor’easter? The forecast challenge this week is how much, if any, impact we’ll see from a storm brewing in the Atlantic. It’s likely that this storm, which has a much lower pressure than the high pressure areas coming in from Canada, will create a big enough gradient to bring consistent breezy conditions, especially along the coastline for much of the upcoming week. I’ll add in the chance for a couple of showers over Cape Cod and the islands, which could make it into Southeastern Massachusetts Tuesday or Wednesday, but as of now, cloudiness and breezy conditions will be the primary issues.

California’s next governor must reckon with a state of extremes — where weather swings from drought to deluge, and water divides the land of backyard swimming pools from places where grandmothers fear to bathe babies in water from the tap. Climate change is raising the stakes, amplifying the cycles of wet to dry and fueling conflicts between water haves and have-nots that have defined California for generations. The next governor — Republican Steve Hilton or Democrat Xavier Becerra — will inherit these challenges, and more. Groundwater overuse and sinking land in the state’s agricultural heartland continue to jeopardize both water supply and delivery systems. The fishing industry is cratering, and farmers feel so squeezed that some are planting solar panels instead of crops. And hundreds of thousands of Californians still lack access to safe, affordable water. From this shared reality, the two candidates’ strategies diverge: Hilton is outspoken about his plans to clearcut environmental regulations in order to build more ways to store and move water to farms and cities.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KABC) -- Thousands of people made strides together in the fight against HIV Sunday at West Hollywood Park.
