Ted Cruz's College Years Can a master debater who wore a paisley bathrobe to creepily stroll by the women's wing of the dorm be the next president?

NYC Announces City's Biggest Gun Bust New York officials announced the city's largest gun bust, a sting operation that netted 254 weapons that had been brought into the city by bus. Nineteen people were arrested, including the operator of a Brooklyn music studio where police say some of the deals took place. Smugglers allegedly paid people to buy weapons in North and South Carolina, so they could avoid the one-gun-per-month limit, and then stowed them in their luggage on board the largely unregulated Chinatown buses to bring them to New York, where they could be sold for triple the price. "Today we have charged criminal opportunists who sought to take advantage of the nation's patchwork of conflicting gun regulation to line their own pockets and promote mayhem in New York City," said Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan.

In an interview with CNN that was excerpted on Monday, Prince William described his baby son as "a little bit of a rascal"—and William said he's looking forward to going back to the Air Force to "get some sleep." "He's a little fighter—he wriggles around quite a lot and doesn't want to go to sleep that much," William said. George "either reminds me of my brother or me," William said. As for the baby's debut, William said he was feeling "shock" outside St. Mary's Hospital in London, and said "I was on such a high anyway, and so was Catherine, about George that really we were happy to show him off to anyone who wanted to see him."   Read it at CNN SNOWDEN 4. Greenwald on U.K.: They'll Be Sorry Snowden saga, part three: this time, it's personal. Journalist Glenn Greenwald said he'll be releasing more classified documents about Britain after his partner, David Miranda, was detained and questioned for nine hours at Heathrow Airport. "I will be far more aggressive in my reporting from now. I am going to publish many more documents. I am going to publish things on England too. I have many documents on England's spy system. I think they will be sorry for what they did," Greenwald said at Rio's airport, where he was meeting his partner. Miranda said that six British agents questioned him for nine hours and only returned his passport—though not his laptop or phone—when he began yelling in the airport lounge. Greenwald, who lives in Brazil with Miranda, said it was an attempt to "intimidate our journalism." Read it at Reuters SURVEY SAYS 5.
