Razing the camps did nothing, of course, to solve the underlying problem of homelessness on Cape Cod. Some of those living in the camps were alcoholics; since no Cape Cod homeless shelter allows alcohol— a so-called “wet” shelter in Hyannis has met with stiff opposition—these people have few housing options.

Although local charities such as the Salvation Army provided emergency...
...much touted 529 college savings plans aren't providing much shelter. The plans, whose earnings are exempt from federal and some state tax, came into wide acceptance about three years ago, just as the market was peaking.

His grandfather treated his burns with cooking oil for two years before Taniguchi was able to resume his job as a mail carrier. The museum also has video testimonies from other victims, among them an American woman whose sister was stricken...
...thing Melissa Knieling noticed was the man's shirt. Even in the packed Los Angeles International Airport, where she was collecting donations for a women's shelter, the bright pink shirt stood out. But not him. Sometime around 11:30 a.m., when she glanced over at the El Al ticket counter, the man in the pink shirt caught her eye and held it. "He didn't seem angry," the 18-year-old says now with a shiver. "Then he nonchalantly pulled out his gun and started shooting...
