In February 1971, physicists at the National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, began testing the biggest machine in the world: a ring-shaped, 200-billion-electron-volt (BeV*) proton synchrotron particle accelerator. The stakes were high. NAL director Bob Wilson had told the U.S. Department of Energy that he could get it running within five years for $250 million, and they were four years in. They soon ran into a perplexing problem: Magnets that were essential to its operation kept failing. The low-tech solution proposed for this high-tech trouble? A ferret named Felicia.

The exploding pagers that killed at least twelve people and injured 2,800 others in Lebanon and some adjacent places on Tuesday were mostly just a new wrinkle on the exploding cellphones that Israel has used to assassinate its opponents in the past, but there was one major innovation.

The Commonwealth Fund’s report is the 20th in their “Mirror, Mirror” series, an international comparison of the US health system to nine wealthy democracies including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, Sweden and Switzerland. The foundation calls this year’s report a “portrait of a failing US health system”.

For decades, California police chiefs and sheriffs have lamented how difficult it is to fire officers and deputies who act with dishonesty or brutality, blaming powerful labor unions and robust employment protections. What law enforcement leaders have not revealed, and what has remained a secret until now, is how they have repeatedly turned to an under-the-radar method of getting rid of problem officers — one that not only allows the officers to avoid accountability but, often, to quietly move on to other jobs where they are asked to protect the public. For years, dozens of California police agencies have executed “clean-record agreements,” clandestine legal settlements that promise to hide the wrongdoing of an officer in exchange for the officer’s guarantee to leave an agency without a fight, an investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program found.

The body of a man accused of shooting five people in vehicles on Interstate 75 earlier this month in Southern Kentucky, setting off a massive manhunt, was found Wednesday afternoon near the crime scene. Joseph Couch, 32, was found near Exit 49 on the interstate, about nine miles north of London, near where he shot 12 vehicles on Sept. 7. The scene was about 65 miles south of Lexington on one of the nation’s busiest highways. KSP announced at 4:18 p.m. that a body had been found and they were working to identify it. The announcement came about an hour after a couple named Fred and Sheila McCoy posted a live YouTube video claiming they’d found Couch after searching for six days and nights. The couple went live a second time after finding the body, and they appeared to be discussing what they’ll do with the reward money. Authorities had offered a $35,000 reward for information that led to Couch’s arrest, and police confirmed Wednesday night the McCoys will receive $25,000 of that reward. Fred and Sheila say they are descendants of the famous feuding families the Hatfields and McCoys from West Virginia and Kentucky. The couple previously operated the Hatfields and McCoys museum in Casey County, according to the museum’s website. Casey County is about an hour west of the I-75 shootings.

Surveillance video exclusively obtained by CBS News New York Investigates shows NYPD officers repeatedly punching a man working at a Brooklyn homeless shelter last February. Jason Salters says officers attacked him when he was just trying to follow orders to do his job. Salters said NYPD officers showed up in the early morning looking for a domestic violence suspect who had been staying at the shelter. He says the police didn't have a warrant so, according to an internal DHS report, he called a director of social services for the city, and put her on speaker phone. "She said, in front of the sergeant and officers, 'No Jason, absolutely not. Do not let them in. They do not have a warrant?' I said 'No, ma'am.' 'Absolutely not, do not let them in,'" Salters said.

Academic and industry support has retreated amid a GOP assault. A few months ago, a man crawling along a rooftop in Pennsylvania tried to murder Donald Trump at a campaign rally. Hours later, press releases started to circulate, from analysts, think tanks, politicians, and pundits, all offering to cut through the swell of confusion and misinformation. One of the people who washed up in my inbox was Ben Swann, whom a New York–based PR team presented as a journalist, and a source “to separate the conspiracy theories from the facts behind Trump’s assassination attempt.” This was curious for several reasons, the main being that Swann is himself an energetic conspiracy theorist, who first attracted notice in 2017 by touting Pizza­gate, a lurid conspiracy about child trafficking, while working for Atlanta’s CBS affiliate. Swann was ultimately fired, but quickly launched a new career as a star of the most conspiracy-addled corner of the online universe, posting to his website Truth in Media. He also began accepting millions of dollars in funding from a Kremlin-backed broadcaster to produce pro-Russian propaganda, according to disclosure forms he filed with the federal government when registering as a foreign agent. While Swann has prospered by confidently and cynically presenting himself as a force for truth, legitimate researchers of disinformation—the kind he’s spread for much of his professional life—are struggling. Over the last several years, the field has undergone a broadscale attack from politicians, right-wing media, and tech industry giants. As a result, research has been curtailed, people have been laid off, and academics working in the space even fear talking to one another, lest it leave them open to charges of “conspiring” by their adversaries.
