...Brighton station house after Trombly’s arrest in the early morning of Sept. 9, 2001. But Byrne, a 23-year BPD veteran, said that he had acted reflexively out of fear for his life when he saw Trombly reach for a black object in his pocket—which he said turned out to be a cell phone. Byrne said that at the time, his mind was filled with memories of a 1993 incident in which a close friend on the force was shot and killed by an arrestee inside a station house while he watched helplessly...

Are we ever going to get past nationalism and hostile ignorance? William Simcoe Vantaa, Finland...
...opposite the Bundesrat, the upper house of parliament. But Wertheim hasn't disappeared into the history book - far from it. For more than a decade, the Leipziger Platz site - and a patchwork of other prime real estate in the heart of Berlin that belonged to Wertheim - has been the object of one of the biggest restitution battles in post-reunification Germany. Four groups are involved in a tangled legal fight over approximately 65,000 sq m of Berlin's best locations: the German government; German retailer KarstadtQuelle, which acquired Hertie in 1999 and claims to be the corporate successor...
