Across the country in Nevada, Ber- nie Sanders and Hillary Clinton tried to lock down supporters in the fiercely contested Democratic caucuses there. The vote today is a critical test of organization and strength for both parties. Today’s Republican pri- mary in South Carolina comes as Donald J. Trump’s rivals are closing in on him after he en- joyed comfort- able leads in the polls here. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal/ Marist poll showed him just 5 points ahead, down from his 16-point lead in the state a month ago. The poll had Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in second place with 23 per- cent, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in third place with 15 percent, and Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, in fourth place Races tighten in S.C., Nevada Gabriella Demczuk/The New York Times Jeb Bush kisses his mother, Barbara Bush, who spoke on his behalf at a campaign event Friday at the D.W.

High-stakes voting for both parties after a nasty week of campaigning No more ‘Heeeath’ cheers from Steelers fans SEE HEATH, PAGE A-5 By Ray Fittipaldo Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Steelers pulled out a thrill- ing come-from-behind victory against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 18 at Heinz Field, but there was something missing from the atmosphere that Sunday after- noon. For the first time in 104 games, tight end Heath Miller did not catch a pass. And with that, a long-standing tradition came to an end. For the first time since the middle of the 2008 season, there was no “Heeeath” chorus from the crowd. In the regular season or the play- offs, home or away, it was easy to know when No. 83 hauled in a pass. You didn’t have to open your eyes. All you had to do was open your Heath Miller will retire. Highmark to cut doctors’ reimbursement SEE HIGHMARK, PAGE A-2 By Kris B. Mamula Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Affects care given through ACA plans Highmark Health is cutting reimbursement to doctors by 4 percent effective April 1 for care provided to patients with health insurance bought through the government exchange — the lat- est effort to trim losses in a mar- ket segment that has caused headaches for carriers nation- wide. All Pennsylvania doctors who participate in Highmark’s health insurance plans and treat pa- tients with coverage required by the Affordable Care Act will be affected by the reimbursement cut, said Alexis Miller, senior vice president of individual and small group markets. The doctors’ pay cut is needed to stem losses in individual health-law coverage as the in- surer looks for other ways to stop the bleeding, Ms. Miller said. “We’re thoughtfully thinking through all the levers we can pull,” she said. “There’s no silver bullet.” Reimbursement for High- mark’s commercial plans will re- main the same, softening the im- pact of the reduction on the phy- sician practice revenue to an av- erage of 0.5 percent.

Story, Page A-4 EU strikes deal with British PM that may sway vote to stay in bloc SEE BRITAIN, PAGE A-3 By Raf Casert and Lorne Cook Associated Press BRUSSELS — Prime Minister David Cameron on Friday pledged Britain will never become part of a “European superstate” thanks to a hard-fought deal for a less intru- sive European Union that he hopes will sway voters in a referendum to keep the island nation in the 28-na- tion bloc. The agreement Mr. Cameron won is a key stepping stone to the in- out referendum in Britain that could come as soon as this summer. Mr. Cameron said that, under the deal, Britain would be allowed to stay on EU sidelines if other na tions seek a closer union and ha been guaranteed its social welfare would win more protection fro unfair EU migrant claims. He also pledged the economy will prospe outside the euro area. “This is enough for me to recom- mend that the United Kingdom re main in the European Union hav ing the best of both worlds,” M Cameron said after 31 hours of ne gotiations. “Turning our back on Europe is no solution at all,” he said, adding Dips on Parkway might be from bridge implosion SEE PARKWAY, PAGE A-5 By Ed Blazina Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PennDOT and Pittsburgh off cials are monitoring three sligh dips in the road surface on t Parkway East that may be residual damage from the implosion of th Greenfield Bridge above the high way in late December.

According to her nephew, Hank Conner, the author of “To Kill a Mockingbird,” one of the most cele- brated novels in American history, “passed away in her sleep early this morning. Her passing was un- expected. She remained in good ba- sic health until her passing.” In February 2015, Ms. Lee’s health — specifically her compe- tence — became the subject of the kind of speculation that would ap- pall anyone who valued dignity Harper Lee THE ROAD TO THE WHITE HOUSE More race coverage ■ Pennsylva- nia’s Demo- cratic candi- dates for U.S. Senate stress their credentials during debate.
