...willingly Tasered at a public demonstration, told the Cambridge Chronicle afterward that, “It was the longest five seconds of my life. The electrical current feels like the pulse of a jackhammer.” Though the weapons are classified as “non-lethal,” there is some doubt about this claim—according to the human rights group Amnesty International, over 150 people have been killed by Tasers since June 2001. The CPD plans to implement a review process to oversee use of the weapons, and each Taser will be mounted with...
...scorers in the ECAC, with Harbec tallying 67 points this season and Chu right behind her with 66. Besides the nearly identical point totals, the two share striking similarities when it comes to their styles of play. Standing at about 5’8”, both use a lethal combination of size and speed to present an imposing presence on the ice. They are the catalysts for their respective teams, acting almost like point guards in the way that they manage their offenses. While each can certainly put the puck in the net on her own, the duo?...
Watching “Bird Flu,” the latest video from ineffable refugee-turned-pop-star, M.I.A., is a disorienting experience that leaves the viewer reeling and wondering when biological terrorism got to be so trendy.

...sinister circuits of wires, batteries, duct tape, and a lighted cartoon character in strategic locations throughout the city. The danger posed by these devices is almost too terrible to contemplate: In the alternate universe where al-Qaeda terrorists hide bombs in Lite-Brite toys, these devices could have been lethal weapons of mass destruction. The evildoing entrepreneurs who hatched this plot, in wanting to force their way of life (or, at least, their product) upon all decent Bostonians, succeeded in making the city and its denizens look, well, stupid. Fiends! They must be smoked out. Luckily, the Boston Police Department...
...professor of philosophy at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank. As the Zionist immigration came to critical mass, especially after World War II and the Holocaust, when Israel became the haven for 687,000 new immigrants with no homes elsewhere in the world, the Arabs' alarm rose to lethal levels. ''We found ourselves paying the price for something with which we had nothing to do,'' says Nusseibeh. ''We didn't know how to meet the challenge except by saying no.'' Had Egypt, Syria and the other Arab nations accepted Israel's right to exist in 1947, the Palestinians could...
