- For Thieves, Copper Is Gold in the Gutter (f)
In the District's affluent Chevy Chase neighborhood, the thefts began when the spring rains arrived. Copper downspouts vanished from the side of a house, causing its basement to flood. Later, someone was spotted pulling the gutters off another residence.

- Go Go Community Suggests Peace Training (f)
From today’s Post: an article on the standoff between P.G. County and club owners over increasing violence at late-night venues. Representatives of D.C.’s go-go community went to Maryland to try to mediate—and offered some ideas for how to help: “Speakers offered suggestions such as requiring people in clubs who get in fights to attend peace training, copying the IDs of troublemakers, and establishing security standards.”
What in the hell is “peace training”? These people seem to have made a profession out of it. I’m afraid we’ve finally gone too far.

- Hefty Fees In Store for Misbehaving Va. Drivers (f)
Attention Virginians [not out-of-state drivers]: The cost of bad driving is about to go up. Way up. Say you are driving 78 mph on the Capital Beltway and a state trooper tickets you for "reckless driving -- speeding 20 mph over." You will probably be fined $200 by the judge. But then you will receive a new, additional $1,050 fine from the Old Dominion, payable in three convenient installments. So convenient that you must pay the first one immediately, at the courthouse.
