Investigation: The Times reviewed dozens of episodes in previous demonstrations involving tear gas and found that the police had at times used methods that experts describe as indiscriminate and excessive.
Received wisdom and biological theory both have it that males are (or, at least, would like to be) more promiscuous than females. But it turns out that men and women are not as different as you might expect
It's World Tripe Day, celebrating the former kitchen staple, made of the stomach of a cow, pig, sheep or ox.
Tripe has fallen out of favour for decades but would you put it on the menu?
Ordinarily I don’t pay a lot of attention to political polls but the trends are interesting. According a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll out this morning (see below), the two Republican candidates spewing the most racist tripe -- Donald (Mexicans are rapists) Trump and Ben (Muslims shouldn’t be President) Carson -- are running neck-and-neck for first place in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, while Hillary Clinton continues to lose ground to Bernie Sanders.

A museum director sets artwork alight in Italy in an inflammatory move to raise more public money
The U.S. said the photograph of a dead Osama bin Laden is "gruesome" and that "it could be inflammatory" if released, but is still considering whether to make it public.
A Birmingham Post article by Chris Upton compares “The Tripe Eaters,” one of Freeth’s works, to Robert Burns’ “Address to a Haggis.” It begins “Of all the towns in England/ For tripe that’s fat and fair,/ There’s not one, I trow, that can/ With Birmingham compare,” and then launches into the “And a-triping we will go” refrain.
席哈克又提到前北大西洋公約組織秘書長羅伯森(George Robertson)曾請他品嘗「令人反胃的蘇格蘭菜」羊肉雜碎布丁(Haggis)，他坦言：「這便是我們和北約麻煩的根源」，惹得普丁和施洛德大笑。普丁後來問：「那（英國的）漢堡又如何？」席哈克說：「不！不！漢堡根本不值一瞧。」。
Upton notes a wrinkle in the third verse, which reads, “Observe what stands before us/ From oven piping hot;/ We’ll fall on it – hook, heels and all - / And fairly drain the pot.”
“What was, in fact, being dished out,” Upton writes, “was tripe and cow heel. The dish on offer in the early evening, once the butchers … had done their worst and separated off every bit edible.”
