This Week's Issue: Drones, Vaginas and Cholera
You know the drill — another Wednesday, another Seven Days. No epic website outages here today (knock on wood!), so here are the news and politics stories you can read right now:
- More than 2000 low-income Vermonters could lose their housing due to the federal sequester.
- University of Vermont researchers are testing an experimental cholera vaccine by, well, giving people cholera.
- One Burlington Telecom advisor, claiming that Al Jazeera is "spreading Sharia," wants the service to carry conservative pundit Glenn Beck's TV station.
- Drones aren't just used for dropping bombs and spying! Here in Vermont, hobbyists are building their own remote-controlled flying machines for fun — and they swear these drones are innocuous.
- In this month's Poli Psy column, Judith Levine writes about the vagina, which has had a pretty up-and-down year so far.
- This week in Fair Game: Gov. Peter Shumlin jets to D.C. on the state's dime while asking workers to travel less. Plus, the gov talks pot decriminalization and the less-than-savory donors giving money to the DGA.
