...criminal activity had occurred. Boston media picked up on the story this weekend and local TV station WBZTV attributed the incident to a prank by anthropology students. But regarding the goat remains, HUPD said it currently has “no further details.” Daniel E. Lieberman, an anthropology professor and head tutor of biological anthropology at the College, said he had not been aware of last weekend’s goat incident. “That kind of reminds me of Lord of the Flies,” he said. Lieberman added that anthropology students...
...billion? Answer: the assets of some 3.8 million current and former federal employees, everyone from letter carriers to U.S. Senators, whose retirement funds are socked away in the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), one of the largest and fastest-growing 401(k)-style funds in the U.S. If Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut has his way, the TSP will soon radically alter the way it picks some of its stocks. Lieberman told TIME he will introduce legislation to give all TSP participants the option to disinvest in companies that do business in or with countries labeled by the U.S. as state...
...Lieberman's initiative will add momentum to an antiterrorism bandwagon that has already started to roll.

Neither Clinton nor Obama is co-sponsoring the legislation, though Clinton did vote for the bill in committee. Also, the story originally stated that 25 U.S. states get a quarter or more of their electricity from coal. While true, that statistic understates America's coal dependence: those 25 states get half or more of their electricity from coal...
...global warming, for instance, he and Senator Joe Lieberman introduced a cap-and-trade system to limit carbon emissions 60% below 1990 levels by 2050. McCain's recent body language indicates he would not be nearly as comprehensive as the Democrats; he probably would not, for example, auction off the right to pollute for major corporate spewers - which could raise significant funds for alternative-energy research. But the old McCain-Lieberman plan had the look of a half-a-loaf compromise that could eventually get through Congress - and take the global-warming issue off the table in the election...
