During Sunday's election rally in Germantown attended by President Obama and Vice President Biden, the Secret Service detained an unidentified man after he threw a paperback book onto the stage as Obama was speaking.

He was determined to be an "overexuberant" supporter of the president who hoped that Obama would pick up and read a book he had written, a Secret Service spokesman said. No charges were filed and the man's name was not released. - Thomas Fitzgerald
