Authentic Mexican Food Amid a Nuevo-Taco Craze
Three restaurants in Connecticut draw fromgenerations-old family recipes and traditional methods."That’s not to say, Mr. Bautista added, that the newfangled taco restaurants, which may take more liberties with traditional fare, don’t have their place. “Some of them are really good,” he said. “But on their days off, all their chefs eat here.”"

He Said His Car Had Been Stolen; the Police Say He Was Doing the Stealing
Not long after August Watkins reported the theft of his car, he was identified by the authorities as the suspect in a wave of robberies in Queens and Brooklyn.We must get control of the opioids.
Either we make them very cheap allowing the addicts to die quickly
or we offer maintenance for those not ready to die or kick.
Very probably we will do both.
The profit in dealing is such that long term control is impossible.

Federal data of youths found that though more have reported using the devices, it does not appear that they have acted as bridges to traditional cigarettes.Nicotine is an addictive drug.

Los Angeles Joins Debate on Force After Police Killing of Homeless Man
More than 20 years after Rodney King was beaten, the city has entered a vigorous new debate about the police’s use of force on civilians and minorities.It should not take a murder by police to stimulate the debate.
Police need to be more skilled at subduing a prisoner and much more reluctant to kill.

Man Killed in Police Shooting in Queens, Authorities Say
The man had fled after he was approached by plainclothes officers, and reached for a gun in his waistband during the ensuing chase, the police said.Do not carry open alcohol on the street.
A drink on the street will cost a hundred bucks.
Do not carry a gun.
A gun without a license will cost about a thousand and weeks of time.
Even more do not run from the police.
Running from the police carrying a gun will cost your life.
