...eyes are on our ivory tower, noting everything from our cure-finding medical research to our Nobel Laureates to our president, foot firmly planted in his mouth. At times, the spotlight burns. It’s not easy being simultaneously lauded for academic excellence and derided for academic inflation, for instance. And the media coverage of Harvard isn’t always fair and balanced, even by Fox News’ standards...
There were possible improprieties in the way the death scene was handled at Abu Ghraib. After al-Jamadi died, according to the documents, the blood that gushed from his mouth was mopped up and the floor cleaned with a chlorine-based solution by an MP on orders from a superior before the scene could be examined by any investigator.

So far, China's main response to U.S. lectures on the need to open up its political system has been to publish a white paper reaffirming the sacred right of the Communist Party to dominate public life...
...suddenly couldn't breathe and her heart was pounding. The walls seemed to be closing in. She thought she was having a heart attack, but a nurse took one look at her, disappeared for a few moments, then returned with a paper bag that she placed over Beddoe's mouth. When Beddoe calmed down, the nurse told her she'd had a panic attack but not to worry - they were common in people with depression. Beddoe's plunge into madness had begun. When a neighbor revved his motorcycle within earshot of a sleeping Jemima, Beddoe flew into a rage, chasing...
