...continued its inquiry into the February 9 collision that killed nine Japanese civilians and ended the careers of several submarine officers. Defense attorney Charles Gittens, hired by Commander Scott Waddle, tried to discount the prosecutorial picture of the collision by pointing repeatedly to the negligence of one fire control technician, later identified as Patrick Seacrest. Gittens' attack was, according to observers, effective inasmuch as he got the prosecuting attorney to admit Cmdr. Waddle might not have had as much to do with the accident as was previously thought...
...issues like bolstering municipal services, improving conditions in Toulouse's immigrant neighborhoods and giving citizens more say in city affairs. "Before this, I never got involved in politics beyond casting a vote, because I just didn't think I could make a difference in an insider's game," computer technician Marc Bories, 50, tells his Motivé-e-s colleagues at the Puerto Habana meeting. "In Toulouse today, we in Motivé-e-s are on the brink of making a real difference. That's something new." Not entirely, since citizens' movements have arisen elsewhere before-though none marching...

This new information is likely to figure prominently in next week's court...
...just makes me crazy). I love the little "accuracy stamp" on the barrel from the Russian Bureau of Weights and Measures, certifying that the barrel has met strict tolerances for accuracy and precision. I love the little paper test target it came with where the (Russian) factory technician shot five shots at 20 degrees centigrade and five shots at -20C to confirm the accuracy of the barrel (the warm group is clustered within about an inch, the cold group about an inch and a half). I love the clips on the buttstock that hold four extra magazines (for quick...
