...Celtics experience wasn’t the posh atmosphere, and it certainly wasn’t the basketball (Celtics-Clippers, let’s be honest here). Hell, it wasn’t even the bonehead who decided to douse the home team’s bench with pepper spray and delay the ending to a terribly played game. Instead, my mouth dropped open at the history crammed into the arena, making it the perfect microcosm of a Bostonian’s sports memories starting from the early 1900s...

To combat that problem, Viropharma, the biotech company that developed pleconaril, decided to reformulate the pill, turning it into a nasal spray, thereby lowering its dose and the chance that it might interfere with other drugs.

Motorists Against Detection, which claims to have destroyed hundreds of speed cameras throughout the U.K., plans to torch, spray-paint and run over the congestion-fee cameras, too. "We've clearly paid for these roads already," says a member of the group, who declines to be named. "We're like sheep. The French wouldn't have it." Driving has never been an entirely logical exercise. Motorists make emotional decisions...
