...Library employee David S. Toomey was arrested at the Alewife T Station yesterday morning after allegedly implying that he had a bomb in his backpack, a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) official said last night.

Undergraduates are an integral part of Harvard?...
...sell weapons on the open market, and they make over 8 million sales of firearms each year. ATF has some 600 inspectors tasked with making sure license holders keep proper records and perform background checks on purchases in accordance with federal regulations. But these are too few to conduct follow up inspections with any regularity, says ATF. After receiving an initial license, many vendors are never inspected for compliance again. "No matter where you stand on new gun laws," says Congressman Patrick Kennedy, a Democrat from Rhode Island, "the laws currently on the books need to be enforced...
