...another country when your kid decides to party. And under many social-host laws, a meal with wine served at a dinner table is treated no differently from a kegger if neighbors are present with their kids. In short, we are encouraging kids to leave their homes (presumably by car) and drink in parks or abandoned warehouses or anywhere else they think they won't get caught and their parents won't get arrested...
...first big jurisdictions to adopt a social-host ordinance (both the city and county of San Diego passed a social-host law that year). After some legal wrangling, a tougher version of the city's law was enacted in 2006. Yet according to the San Diego Police Department, patrol-car responses to parties in the city increased from 7,265 in 2002 to 9,383 last year.

...first call, from a CBP agent asking for help tracking a group of northbound footprints. After nearly an hour of fruitless searching, Dart decided the walkers must have had a big head start.

The spotters hide in caves on the hillside whenever a chopper flies by (they "rock up," in CBP lingo), but Dart said...
...because he never lost track of his dad, Big Russ, a Buffalo, N.Y., sanitation worker, who survives him. Tim would review his Sunday questions with Big Russ in mind, always asking himself, What would Dad want to know? About 10 years ago, he decided to buy his father a car. "Buy anything you want, Dad," Tim offered. Big Russ picked a Ford. "So I said to him, 'Dad, you can get a Mercedes--anything you want,'" Tim told me later.
