...swept over Institute was not MIC but a combination of methylene chloride and aldicarb oxime. At the Institute facility, aldicarb oxime is mixed with MIC to form the active ingredient for Temik, a pesticide widely used on citrus crops. Last week's scare occurred when steam accidentally entered a metal jacket surrounding a tank that stored the chemicals, causing three gaskets to blow and 500 gal of the solution to escape...
...Three weeks ago, young thugs shot and killed a teenager in the cab of his pickup in a parking lot. So many cars were being attacked in "smash-and-run" incidents while passing the Nickerson Gardens housing project that authorities walled off the adjacent highway with a spiked metal fence.

Inspired by Isaac Asimov's sci-fi novel I, Robot and Japanese manga comics, Sankai has produced a suit that weighs up to 22 kg and supports its own weight-and the wearer's-with a metal frame.

...days, al-Qahtani stonewalls his handlers and maintains that he went to the U.S. to get into the used-car business. "You are working with the devil," he tells his captors. The interrogators respond by forcing him to stand or sit immobile on a metal chair. He tries to deflect questions about where he went in Afghanistan with answers apparently drawn directly from an al-Qaeda handbook, given to terrorists, about how to resist interrogations. When al-Qahtani resorts to a handbook answer, his handlers reply that it amounts to another admission of guilt...
