What made the Jazz Age such an interesting time to chronicle? The 1920s are wonderful. They're completely wild. It's a peculiarly anarchist decade because of Prohibition. You have this brand new constitutional amendment. You have the social upheaval that followed World War I. You have this undercurrent of lawlessness that starts running through the decade as people reject the government trying to legislate moral behavior. This really defiant drinking that fosters the rise of massive organized crime. I feel really lucky that the scientists I like invented their field in Jazz Age New York. It's like someone...
...because the family members of two of the men presumably buried with Lorca - anarchist banderillero Francisco Galadí and teacher Dióscoro Galindo - wished to recover their remains, the poet's descendants have decided, at last, to allow the exhumation to happen. But the Lorca family has thus far declined to participate in the laborious DNA testing that geneticist José Lorente and his team will conduct on some of the remains.

Bicycle scouts reported police locations to the marchers, who had swarmed around an unmarked police car just a few blocks after their start...
...anarchists came to Pittsburgh to prepare to disrupt the G-20 summit. They quickly saw signs that made them believe that someone, or some entity, was prepared for them too. "Obviously, repression has already started," Pittsburgh anarchist Alex Bradley told a gathering of anti-authoritarians - the Pittsburgh G-20 Resistance Project - in a closed-door meeting on Sept. 20. Members of the group say they have been followed, photographed, stopped and searched in the run-up to their protests of the Group of 20 meeting of the world's leading economic powers on Sept. 24 and 25. The 40 people...
