...question of 'why' loomed largely among the hundreds of students who fled the shooting yesterday. But Gill's blog paints a chilling portrait of a violent young man, harkening images of the teen killers who gunned down their 12 classmates and wounded 27 others and killing themselves at Columbine High School in Colorado...

Ditto for other genetic markers. Sciona, says Gill-Garrison, makes sure that each nugget of advice it offers is built...
...failure to cut off funding only reinforces the critics' determination to attack WHINSEC by choking off demand. "The fact that U.S. lawmakers have not been able to provide a solution makes getting Latin American countries to refuse to send troops even more important," said Lesley Gill, anthropology professor at American University and author of School of the Americas: Military Training and Political Violence in the Americas. "It could be the only real hope of closing the school for good." And with it, activists like Bourgeois say, a dark chapter in U.S.-Latin American relations...
