False Alarm Monday, July 31, 7:48 a.m. Officers were dispatched to a report of a suspicious package. Officers arrived at the Business School’s shipping and receiving depot and observed a black briefcase on the ground in the area. The Boston Bomb Squad was notified, and further investigation revealed that the briefcase was empty and not suspicious; it was later disposed...
...nearly three weeks trapped in basements listening to the fighting raging over their heads, the survivors of the fierce battle in this hill town emerge into the sunlight and stare at the desolation around them. The heart of their usually thriving market town has been turned into rubble and bomb craters. "I don't want to talk.

...Cohen: Businesses have tremendous power in this country, and our voice is our best tool. It's crazy that in a country where schools are falling apart, we're spending $20 billion on nuclear weapons. Having the equivalent of 150,000 Hiroshima-sized bombs at the ready does nothing to protect us from terrorists planning to sneak in a bomb through a cargo container. If we reduced the amount we spend on maintaining our nuclear weapons by a small fraction, we could reallocate those funds to improve kids' health care and schooling...
