...antistatic devices found in photo shops and fabric mills. It would be very difficult, but for less than $1,000, just a few such gizmos could theoretically be disassembled and the contents reworked in a laboratory to produce a lethal dose. To be usable as a poison, Michael Clark, a spokesman for Britain's Health Protection Agency, said last week, the polonium would then have to be mixed in solution, probably with a gelling agent. "If it was some sort of liquid, it could have been--as in James Bond--a little magic capsule," Clark said. All this implies considerable...
...He’s a rapist and a murderer—and he’s a fascinating guy.” Malloy told an audience of about 30 at a talk at the museum yesterday that the 19th-century Bostonian adventurer had preceded Lewis and Clark as the owner of several Native American basketry hats on exhibit at the Peabody. The distinctive conical woven hats were brought back as souvenirs of the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Columbia River. Debate over their provenance is not old hat.

By 1865 the brand had already firmly established its place in U.S. history: Abraham Lincoln wore a Brooks Brothers coat to his second Inauguration?and was wearing it again the night he was assassinated.

On Ivy League campuses, Brooks' preppy innovations like argyle, seersucker and madras?all brought to U.S. shores by the retailer?developed into...
...Washington, Geneva, New York and the Hague. Rae, 58, and Ignatieff were roommates at the University of Toronto, but while Ignatieff went on to academia and writing, Rae dove into politics. As an NDP MP in Ottawa, he was instrumental in the defeat of Conservative prime minister Joe Clark's government in 1979. Rae then switched to provincial politics to lead the Ontario NDP and went on to become premier in 1990 with a surprise snap-election victory over an unpopular Liberal government...
...since Lewis and Clark included both sprawling territories on their famed 19th century westward expedition have Illinois and Montana been so closely linked. But now they share a dubious distinction as the only two states to have failed thus far to compile and release standardized student test results for 2006 as required under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law, giving further fodder to the law's critics who claim test scores have little to do with providing a solid education in the first place...
