In 1992 I walked into the University of North Dakota Library to do some research of Congressional documents. I remember quite well the bitter cold of -40 below 0 and wind chills that would freeze you to the bone with some speed. However this cold is a warm summer day at the beach, in comparison to the documents I found.

MTD and Pedestrians
Current rating: 0
01 Mar 2005
I resubmitted this to get into the local interest section.

The following is from the Daily Illini. As the article notes, this is the second time in the past few months that an MTD bus has struck a pedestrian. In the first instance, the student who was hit died from her injuries.

I support public transportation and respect the MTD, but over the years I have sensed an increasingly aggressive approach on the part of some drivers. I have noticed this as a driver in my car, and particular on those occasions when I walk on campus during a busy time of the day. I would be interested in hearing if others have had similar perceptions.

Independent Press Was a Target in Iraq

The reality is that Jordan's concerns have a background and context that were under-reported in our media. Before the war, the Pentagon issued warnings that sounded like threats, saying it would not guarantee the safety of journalists who were not officially "embedded" into assigned U.S. military units.

Pentagon publicist Victoria Clarke, around the time the war began, said that journalists who went out on their own were "putting themselves at risk."
