A 17-year-old Houston hero was on his way to the doctor’s office Sunday when he stopped to help a man crying in pain on the ground. It wasn’t until later that Nicolas Latiolais realized the man suffered from gunshot wounds—and that the shooting was ongoing. “I thought it was just a car accident,” Latiolais told […]
Can you predict who is a murderer just by looking at their face? What about a pedophile? A software company now says it can, and it claims it is able to identify terrorists purely by their facial features. Turning the old idiom that “you can’t judge a book by its cover” on its head, the […]

Elena met Rafita a few years ago on the malecón, the breakwater along the port of Acapulco. His shyness and his eyes like the eyes of an injured puppy stole her heart, she remembers.

A lot of Special Forces Green Beret training involves making decisions with limited information.
