...sounds like science fiction - a heat ray that can zap rioting protesters, forcing them to flee without inflicting injuries. But the U.S. military's Active Denial System - which shoots a beam of electromagnetic radiation, causing its target to experience a burning sensation - is just the latest attempt to make crowd control more effective yet less lethal. Unlike traditional brute-force methods of dispersal - such as rubber bullets and batons, which can maim or even kill - a new wave of hi-tech crowd-control gadgets promises to keep the peace without causing casualties...

In 2006 alone, more than 800 of the dogs known for their ferocity have been rounded up in Denver, most of them destroyed...
After four years of exploiting Massachusetts’s citizens to further his political ambitions, Romney should be making plans to sheepishly flee our fair state when his term expires. And originally, if the rumors that he had plans to mount his presidential campaign from Michigan are true, that was just what he was going to do. It doesn’t make sense strategically for Romney to remain in Massachusetts either. Instead of headquartering his campaign in arguably the most liberal state in the country – a state whose left-leaning values he has spent the last...
