With a possible third suspect at large, it has become increasingly clear that these acts of violence are not isolated or spontaneous--officials report that the youths involved in the Littleton shooting may have been planning the massacre for over a year. These tragedies are the result of severe emotional distress among teens with access to an impressive arsenal of weapons...
...Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) received a report of a suspicious person attempting to open the door of a bike cage at Peabody Terrace. The suspect was described as a six-foot tall black male wearing a baseball hat and a black and yellow Nike jacket and dark pants. The suspect was gone when HUPD arrived...
...indeed attacked civilians. NATO tried to recover, releasing an audiotape of an F-16 pilot who may have struck the civilian convoy. He described how he thought he was attacking Serb military vehicles. The tape only added to the muddle.

"It wasn't handled well," a senior Administration aide said of NATO's response to the tragedy. NATO knew there would be civilian casualties during the air war, and when they occurred...

Some undergraduates--mostly male I suspect--love the game, and I am glad they do. So long as the Republic requires young men to register for compulsory military service, its universities must necessarily support the skills on which its freedom depends, and a bit of Assassin leads players to remember the primacy of infantry. But undergraduates who enjoy the game grow familiar not just with action and masquerading but with betrayal and protection from betrayal, and in time join...
