When Transformers 2 director Michael Bay snubbed Penn last summer, some on campus took up arms and started an open letter of protest on Facebook. Though in the end, Transformers 2 references neither school, and it is just assumed Shia LaBeouf attends some unnamed [stuck-up] northeastern [safety] school with an orange and black crest...
...Road to War Our first flight took us to a deserted stretch of Black Sea coast at Anaklia Bay. Saakashvili, who is sometimes swept away by his own optimism, met several leading Spanish architects on the beach to discuss developing a resort nearly 4 miles (6 km) long that would lead right up to the border with the breakaway republic of Abkhazia. The area may have natural potential - "The water's like boiled milk," an official told me approvingly - but Saakashvili seemed to be ignoring the obvious. If war breaks out again, the Russian army will rumble first through Anaklia...
...Gold Rush Tom Dinwoodie is standing on a roof, staring at the future. The roof covers Richmond's grand "daylight factory" overlooking San Francisco Bay, where Ford built Model A's before World War II and then the iconic Rosie the Riveter built jeeps and tanks during the war.

Kevin King, Standish's mayor for the past six years, says most of his constituents want domestic inmates. But accepting detainees from Guantánamo Bay, he says, "is a whole different ball of wax." At community meetings in recent months, King says he has made the point to skeptics that terrorists have long been housed at U.S. prisons, and "you can't recite one terrorist attack by people trying to get out." He says he has received assurances from federal officials that should detainees be brought to Standish, no land near the prison would be seized to expand...
