Amid national anger over police killings of unarmed black men, the department is easing its limits on the devices, hoping to reduce police shootings by providing officers a less dangerous fallback.

My preference is the billy club.

The fight for Mr. Redstone’s media empire will culminate in October, with lawsuits over his mental competence and his move to replace five Viacom directors.

A Novel Gives Voice to Dead Friends — or Maybe Lovers

In Samuel Ligon’s novel “Among the Dead and Dreaming,” the dead speak.

Mexico’s Wind Farms Brought Prosperity, but Not for Everyone

Investors have plowed $9 billion into wind farms in Mexico, but some residents, especially in poorer areas, say they have rarely seen the benefits.
