  Stone has been
  contradicted and the magazine is now
  acknowledging that there are discrepancies in the story it
  published.
• The district attorney who brought the officer who killed Eric
  Garner in to the grand jury left off the possibility for the jury

• Everybody is
  resigning from The New Republic, unhappy with the
  Internet-jargon-spewing leadership that pushed out its top
  editors.
• China’s former security chief has been arrested for
  corruption and expelled from the Communist Party.
• The Supreme Court will hear a case considering whether the
  
  content or symbols on vanity license plates are protected by

  about offensiveness.
• Drink up! Today is the anniversary of the end of
