...airport without a problem. Those who are unable to take the T (at a fraction of the cost of sharing a cab) due to the timing of their flight, or who are simply uninterested, have simply turned to friends or e-mail lists and sought fellow taxi-takers there. While fancy new Web sites and advanced mapping algorithms are lovely, they are, in the case of UC Rides, completely unnecessary and foolish expenditures of UC money. Rather than wasting $1,000 of its operations fund on something that clearly isn’t broken, the UC might instead have considered...
...thickset 59-year-old bundled in four layers of clothing against the bitter winter cold. She and her companions seek a fair trial for their jailed relatives. In 1994, Yang explains, her son and three of his friends were arrested by police and charged with the murder of two taxi drivers. After confessing to the crimes, they were swiftly convicted and sentenced to death by a local court in their hometown of Chengde. But Yang's lawyer, Xu Zhiyong, says the confessions were extracted under torture. Xu says this case is one of the most glaring examples of injustice...
...hospital yesterday, having surgery on his hand. The Crimson is withholding the names of the victim and his roommate because the victim could not be contacted yesterday.

The log cited the cab driver as the witness to the incident. But in an interview yesterday, the victim’s roommate said he thought the incident...
...down in the small coastal city in the West African nation of Gabon. Next to the airport exit, a gaggle of shrieking, minimally dressed women dance to loud rock on the terrace of a bar called Le Aero Club. "Come fly me!" one shouts down. Instead, I accept a taxi driver's offer of a ride into town - a 10-minute drive that costs $30. We drive past another bar, A Qui La Tour? - which roughly translates as "Whose round is it?" although the driver insists it means "Who am I having sex with next?" There are also several...
...While the hullabaloo over 300 may dampen Iranians' holiday spirits, it offers common cause between people and their estranged government. Top officials and parliament have scorned the film as though it were a matter of state, and for the first time in a long while, taxi drivers are shaking their fists in agreement when the state news comes on. Agreeing that 300 is egregious drivel is fairly easy. I'm relatively mellow as Iranian nationalists go, and even I found myself applauding when the government spokesman described the film as fabrication and insult. Iranians view the Achaemenid empire...
