Monday News

There was some interesting news today in the Times. On the front page I saw that they are finding a drug that eliminates certain memory of the brain. This concept is exciting but at the same time scary because it could have long term affects on the person. Right now they are testing it on animals which have seem to be working fine but animals are different than humans. We will be hearing more on that topic in the future. It was definitely a story that belonged on the third page.
Obama is cracking down the illegal activity between the States and Mexico by kicking the security up a notch. There has been illegal drug and immigration problems for many years and the US is trying to reduce is as much as they can. Some how people continue to find ways to get to America or transport items to the states as well, even with the wall Bush built.
Another interesting story was the one about a man in Washington who killed his five children then took his own life when he found out his wife had been seeing another man. People hear about these kind of stories all the time. They are mostly local stories since many of them haven't been nation wide news except for the O-Jay trial, which then was popular because he was a NFL player. A good story idea would be to investigate if anyone did a study on what triggers peoples' minds to snap the way they do and hurt their love ones.
