Another option is to demonize Jones. His record is riddled with cowardly charges--stealing a bike from a 12-year-old, snatching purses from women. But should the punishment be a beating and five bullet wounds? "What I saw was excessive for what was happening at the moment," says Leslie Seymore, a retired Philadelphia cop and president of the local A.C.L.U. chapter...
...novelty factor aside, this has to be an extremely worrisome development for the book industry. King says he likes Simon & Schuster, but "The Plant" represents a Cujo-size bite into the hand that has fed him so far. Unlike his previous online release, "Riding the Bullet," a story that readers had to pay up front to download from Simon & Schuster's web site last March, "The Plant" will appear on King's own site, cutting out the middleman altogether.

Its job is to find and then destroy the incoming "warhead" from Pyongyang or Tehran...
...students just west of St. Louis. It is the poorest city in St. Louis County, a place where unemployment reaches 60%, and 90% of the district's students live without their father. At the elementary school last April hung a picture of a 9-year-old killed when a bullet punctured the front door of her home. The middle-school administrator estimates that two-thirds of her students were exposed to drugs in the womb...
