...Juventus supporters in Brussels, there was an outpouring of grief. Among the dead was Restaurant Owner Giovacchino Landini, 49. "Why did it have to be him?" cried his daughter Monica, 22. "He was too passionately fond of Juventus." Of the dead, 31 were Italians, including a ten-year-old boy and a woman. Also killed were four Belgians, two Frenchmen and a Briton who was a resident of Brussels. All the dead were asphyxiated or crushed. Ten spectators, all British, were arrested, none for alleged offenses committed inside the stadium...

The Taser dart shooter is favored by many police, who would rather keep their distance from violent drunks, drug users and mental patients. Taser says that more than 400 police departments have bought the devices...
...pornographic orgies and sapphic lovers, Little Gloria's paternal aunt, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, sued for custody of the child in 1934 and won. In the best account of this celebrated trial, Little Gloria, Happy at Last (1980), Journalist Barbara Goldsmith argued that a greater anguish lay below the ten-year-old's fear of being torn from her home in some Solomonic decision. "I was afraid she would take me away," Gloria had testified, ". . . do something . . . then IT will happen." Here, Goldsmith theorizes, the girl was subtly conscious of the second most famous child of '30s headlines, the Lindbergh baby...
