Muhammad's departure at the end of the semester will be a loss to the entire community but is particularly a blow to the 300-plus members of Mather House who had signed a pledge in October endorsing non-discrimination in order to show their support for Muhammad...

Twenty-nine cities and counties have already filed suits against the manufacturers since October of last year, seeking to recover the public costs of gun violence, force the design of safer firearms, and restrict the flow of guns to illegitimate buyers. As the suits have made their way through the courts, the industry and plaintiffs have held sporadic settlement talks, to little effect. But that could change dramatically with the arrival of the feds, who will...
