...grade explosives had been found in medicine containers being carried by the Algerian national who was nabbed trying to cross into Washington State from Canada with a trunkload full of DIY bomb-making material. And Federal prosecutors announced they'd found a link between Ressam and Lucia Garofalo, the Canadian woman arrested last week trying to cross into Vermont with an Algerian companion. Information supplied by a "reliable government" said both were members of a Canada-based cell of an Algerian terrorist organization, the Armed Islamic Group...
...March for the past five years, and shows no signs of tiring. Bezos is pathologically happy and infectiously enthusiastic. Today's whistle-stop is typical. As usual he's smiling, shaking hands and shocking new employees with his distinctive laugh, a rapid honk that sounds like a flock of Canadian geese on nitrous oxide. He's an average-size man with thinning hair, warm brown eyes and a face that suggests Kevin Spacey with more than a hint of Frank Perdue. His uniform tends to be white or blue button-down shirts with collars that efficiently snap rather than button...

...know only after they took up his cause is impressive. That's especially so since they are led by a teenage black youth, Lesra Martin (very well played by Vicellous Reon Shannon), who happens to pick up Carter's book, enters into correspondence with him and then drags his Canadian guardians into the long, complicated fight to redeem him. He's an irresistible kid, maybe the only sort of person who could break down Carter's wall of reserve. The Hurricane may be a little too leisurely in its development, but the unlikely triumph of Carter's saviors...
