...TOWN OF VILLA JUAREZ, just south of Monterrey, 15 Mexican drug agents spent most of Jan. 14 crouched outside a walled ranch house. The agents had received a critical tip: Juan Garcia Abrego, one of Mexico's most powerful drug dealers, was inside. At 7 p.m., the team moved in. They smashed through the front gate in a minivan, taking Garcia Abrego and two bodyguards by surprise. As the druglord dashed out a back door and tried to launch his portly frame over a fence, agents grabbed him by the shirt. Twenty minutes later, the man who had shipped perhaps...
Around 9 that evening, two dozen members of the antiabortion Family Caucus had taken the question to a higher authority.

Last month Dade Circuit Court prosecutors charged Blair with three counts of aggravated stalking and alleged that he had admitted to harassing Billig over the past 18 months. After Blair pleaded not guilty, he was freed on a $75,000 bond. Now investigators...
...Harvard wouldn't be Harvard without constantly chapped lips and red hands. Harvard wouldn't be Harvard if you were able to wear clothes between November and May that showed any part of your body besides your eyes and the tip of your nose. Harvard wouldn't be Harvard without the biting winds that freeze your jeans, eat you alive and deliver you unconscious to your doorstep...
