Jiverly Wong was unknown and unremarkable in life. Had he gone quietly like Cory, he would have died unnoticed--evidently a fate too much to bear. Instead, he blocked the rear exit of an immigrant center in Binghamton, N.Y., and walked with guns drawn through the front door. Thirteen people died to create Wong's illusion of importance. Or maybe illusion is the wrong word, for he certainly made himself important to them...
...fourth and last chukker, the teams continue their neck-to-neck race towards victory. As usual, Nick darts ahead of the crowd towards the far wall in pursuit of the ball, but Charlie drives up from behind and bumps the rear of Nick’s horse. Mid-momentum, caught between Charlie and the wall, Nick is thrust off his horse and flies headlong into the boards, crumpling into a fetal position before impact...
...employees were advised to ditch AIG apparel or ID badges outside the office, and dial emergency services if they think they're being followed. "At night," the company suggested, "travel in pairs and always park in well-lit areas."

Reducing weight helps make the most of the Tata Motors - designed two-cylinder engine, which is bolted in the rear (like the classic people's car, the Volkswagen Beetle) and can power the Nano to a top speed of about 62 m.p.h.

From its one-piece rear quarter panel to its independent rear-suspension, deep-dish steering wheel and comfortable interior, the new Camaro goes well beyond the old-fashioned "Detroit iron" of the 1960s and '70s. The new Camaro is powered by either by an old school, 426-hp V8 or an up-to-date direct-injection V6 engine that produces 29 m.p.g. and 304 HP in one package. During TIME's test drive, the Camaro showed that it blends the responsive feel and precise handling found in European road cars with raw American power, easily mastering the twisting, rural...
