WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz says his third-place finish in South Carolina is effectively a tie for second with Marco Rubio. He tells ABC's "This Week" that he's "positioned ideally" to achieve his goal of doing well in the first four states, consolidating conservatives and moving ahead to Super Tuesday on March 1.

He tells "Fox News Sunday" that he will be "very presidential at the appropriate time." But he says right now, he's fighting for his life. Trump says he "can act as presidential as anybody that's ever been president other than the great Abraham Lincoln." He says Lincoln was hard to beat.
BOSTON (AP) — A plan to establish a colony of venomous timber rattlesnakes on an off-limits island in Massachusetts' largest body of water has some residents rattled. But the state Division of Fisheries and Wildlife official leading the Quabbin (KWAH'-bin) Reservoir project says the opposition is driven by an irrational fear of snakes. He says the endangered snakes won't have any reason to leave Mount Zion Island because the island is big enough, has plenty of places to hibernate and abundant food sources.
