"Ford and GM Nazi Collaboration"

"The US City That Disappeared"
In 1912, 45 mixed-race people living on Malaga Island in the mouth of the New Meadows River were thrown off their land by the state of Maine. Nearly a quarter of the islanders were sent to the Maine School for the Feeble-Minded while state workers torched their shacks and even dug up the bones of their ancestors, according to historians and contemporary newspaper accounts.

"US Police Arrest 5 Year Old"
The incident was caught on a video camera which was rolling in the classroom as part of a self-improvement exercise at the St Petersburg school. The video, made public by the lawyer this week, shows the unfolding of the violent tantrum, which started when the little girl refused to take part in a maths lesson. She then ripped some papers off a bulletin board and lashed out at staff trying to calm her down. Three officers rushed to the scene and handcuffed the girl, by that time apparently calm, after pinning her arms behind her back. The footage showed her in distress after being handcuffed.

Medieval 'bawdy courts' in America
John R. Bushey Jr. was prosecuted for adultery in a small courthouse in Luray, Va. Bushey, the former town attorney, stood before the court as an accused criminal with reporters from all over the state in attendance.
