...detainees, sometimes with the concurrence of a doctor. That such a restraint-- which is supposed to be placed around legs, arms or torsos--ended up instead around a man's neck seems to be a case of a medically condoned practice degenerating into abuse. But there was also medical disarray at the prison: amputations performed by nondoctors, chest tubes recycled from the dead to the living, a medic ordered, by one account, to cover up a homicide. That in itself would have made Abu Ghraib a scandal even without the acts of torture inflicted on the inmates by their guards...
...With communications in disarray, many families couldn't contact one other. "Our minds were going around and around like spin dryers," says Cummins resident Wendy Treloar, whose three farmer sons escaped the fire. "We just didn't know where everyone was." Beaten back by flames from one neighbor's house, Leith Holman and a friend raced to save another home. In 30 years on the peninsula, Holman has seen many fires, but none like this, he says: "It went through the scrub like a fireball, lighting up hundreds of yards in front of the main fire, just roaring with this...

The cause of this chaos? “Renegade posters.” You see, the rather sanctimonious and self-important “Election Commission” has very specific guidelines that limit the size, quantity and location of the Undergraduate Council presidential and vice-presidential candidate posters. Violations of these rules draw financial penalties for the candidates they endorse, and although the fines are not particularly high they can be seriously damaging to campaigns that don?...
...found an answer to this question by suspending that star player—senior point guard Jason Forte—indefinitely for “conduct detrimental to the team.” The term “indefinitely” has thrown a lot of Ivy predictions into disarray, as the Bears’ Ivy finish depends on Forte’s presence on the floor. It will be very interesting to see how long Forte spends on the sidelines, because if that hiatus extends into the Ivy season, look for Brown to sink to the bottom...
