...director of communications Kimberley Quinn wrote in an e-mail that the column can move the market and that access to it is “very restricted” before publishing. “Companies that are being covered in the column remain anonymous until immediately prior to printing, which occurs after the market closes on Wednesday,” she wrote. Plotkin and Pajcin would use their insider knowledge to purchase shares and options through the accounts of Pajcin’s aunt in Croatia and an exotic dancer whom the analysts...

Foam that had been there to protect the pin on prior flights had been removed, supposedly to improve the system's reliability.

The most recent failure, in February 2005, happened after two of the three arms that hold the interceptor in place...

At an interrogation center called Camp Na'ma, where the unofficial motto was "No blood, no foul," one intelligence officer testified that "every harsh interrogation was approved by the [commander] and the Medical prior to its execution." Doctors, in other words, essentially signed off on torture in advance. And they often didn't inspect the victims afterward. At Abu Ghraib, according to the Army's surgeon general, only 15% of inmates were examined for injuries after interrogation...
