...many of us will find other ways and times—before, during, and after the game—to drink, but it is of utmost importance that we do so in moderation. The risks associated with overdrinking are well known; there are high correlations between drunkenness and sexual assault, and heavy drinking can even lead to death. Our boys in blue did not just get involved in our tailgates out of the blue. In 2002, an intoxicated Harvard student almost died in an ambulance stuck in the tailgate mud. We all need to be safe for our individual...
...itself were sometimes overblown. When Davis said that Cambridge’s community law enforcement initiatives weren’t “good enough,” Healy responded that “nobody should be shot, nobody should have guns, but we have much fewer incidents of assault with weapons than anywhere else in the state.” He added later that “we do a heck of a good job on affordable housing.

All my friends and family who live there paint a picture that is very different from the society I left barely...
...Cardona, 32, is a military policeman from Fullerton, Calif., who served in 2003 and 2004 at Abu Ghraib as a dog handler. After pictures of Cardona using the animal to threaten Iraqis were made public, he was convicted in May of dereliction of duty and aggravated assault, the equivalent of a felony in the U.S. civilian justice system. The prosecution demanded prison time, but a military judge instead imposed a fine and reduction in rank. Though Cardona was not put behind bars, he was also required to serve 90 days of hard labor at Ft. Bragg...
