...waters on the morning of August 29, it swept James' body to the north-"twisted and folded up like some raggedy doll," says a friend, Fred Smith-and two days his drowned corpse was found 100 yards away, lodged with debris in a wire fence. This casual attitude toward danger carries a high price, both in lives and money, and it's one that many in the Gulf Coast are beginning to question. People are asking whether taxpayers should have to bear the costs of rescuing those who ignore clearly noted threats. They are not talking about the tens...
...almost as interesting as Ledda, acting out the familiar Dostoyevskian paradox of the policeman who instinctively identifies with the criminal he is pursuing. He is also embroiled in a jurisdictional dispute over the case, which frustrates his pursuit of it. He's a busy guy, our Vincke, always in danger of losing the cool reasonableness that, because it matches Ledda's calm but murderous inventiveness, is his largest strength...
...previous records peaked at respectable low-to-mid six figures on Barsuk Records, an independent label so tiny that it gets most of its mail at a P.O. box.

It's situated in the heaving heart of Mongkok?a working-class district famed for being one of the most densely populated places on earth. Guests thus enjoy the best of both worlds: five-star luxury within, and the "real Hong...
Increasing the danger of addictive tanning, research on it is still so new that there aren't good interventions for it as there are for other addictions. Some states--including Texas, Wisconsin, California and Illinois--have age minimums for people visiting tanning salons. But for most people, self-policing is best. If you are worried that you may have a tanning problem, that's a red flag that you do. A visit to a psychologist could help you know for sure. --With reporting by Shahreen Abedin/New York...
