...well. Even with sophisticated and costly scrubbing technologies in place, critics say incinerator smokestacks still release too many pollutants. Moreover, because only very large operations are economical, incinerators are ever-hungry for massive amounts of waste, which can discourage recycling. The Isle of Wight impressively recycles 50% of its household waste, so the gasification plant will subsist on the other half, the so-called residual waste.

The Safe Homes initiative—started this year by the Boston Police Department—involved police teams working with community committees to search for and remove any firearms owned by minors at the permission of the adults of the household. While the intentions of this initiative were salutary, it is essential that awareness of the optional nature of the searches is widespread, and that the officers’ primary intention upon entering the house is to remove firearms, not incriminate the families...
