...other suspects, none of whom were Harvard students, had arranged for and attended the meeting with Cosby. After the shooting, they fled the scene and returned to New York City via bus that evening. Prosecutors say they found $1,000 in cash and a pound of marijuana near Cosby...
...Appalachian Trail has never been a serious concern. Accidents and conflicts with wildlife are rare, and crime is uncommon - though what little there is tends to draw headlines. In 2008 two fishermen were shot along the trail in Virginia, allegedly by the same man who had slain two campers near the same spot in 1981.

...Union an "evil empire" in the 1980s - but even the most pro-American Iranians were infuriated by George W. Bush's attempt to lash their country into an "axis of evil" with their mortal enemy Iraq and North Korea. The situations in Iran and the Soviet Union were nowhere near analogous. Iranians in the streets were looking for greater freedom, not the overthrow of the regime. The neocon effort to turn the Iranians into East European rebels against the Soviet Union was as crudely misleading as Benjamin Netanyahu's fantasy that the Iranian government is a "messianic apocalyptic cult...
