Death in Zimbabw... This image released by U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., shows the damage to the car that allegedly hit and killed Alois Pedzisai Matyoramhinga in Zimbawbe. Unusual circumstances have left federal prosecutors pursuing vandalism charges against Andrew Pastirik, a U.S. government worker accused of killing the Zimbabwe man in a drunken driving collision. Much of the case against Pastirik is shrouded in secrecy at a federal courthouse in northern Virginia. Court documents show the only charge filed against Pastirik in the 2008 death is one of “malicious mischief,” or vandalism, for wrecking a U.S. government-owned Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving.

The Justice Department’s latest effort to examine who journalists are talking to _ the secret subpoena of Associated Press phone records from April and May of last year _ demonstrates how government investigators are guided more by policy and the judgments of high-ranking officials than by specific laws or, in this case, the need to satisfy an independent federal judge.

Shulman heads to Capitol Hill on May 21, 2013, giving lawmakers their first opportunity to question the man who ran the agency when agents were improperly targeting tea party groups. Lawmakers want to know what Shulman knew and when he knew it. They also want to know why Shulman didn’t tell Congress that agents had been singling out conservative political groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status _ even after he was briefed.

Sports seem OK f... FILE - In this Dec. 7, 2012, file photo, Utah State basketball player Danny Berger holds a defibrillator, like the one implanted in his chest, following a news conference at Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah. New research is challenging medical guidelines that say people with a heart-zapping device in their chests should avoid intense sports like basketball and soccer in favor of golf or bowling. Increasingly, teenagers and younger adults receive these implants, people who may be more active and fit but have some underlying heart abnormality that puts them at risk of an arrhythmia. Last year, Utah State forward Danny Berger collapsed on the basketball court, was revived and had a defibrillator implanted; he has said he hopes to play again.
