They dream of men with gentle hands, eloquent with tenderness, fingers that brushed along a cheek, that outlined open lips in the lovers' braille.

The thing political figures fear most is a terror event that will ruin their careers.

In theory, if a gun is left at the scene of a crime, licensing and registration will allow a gun to be traced back to its owner.
