Top Story: The Times has the second installment of an intense three-part series on Derek Boogaard, an NHL enforcer who died in May at age 28. The series looks at how he came to be a brawling "goon" and how that life may have contributed, through depression and brain injuries, to his death.
World: Intelligence officials now say that the explosion at an Iranian military base last month was a huge blow to the country's long-range missile program. Turkey has fought for years to become "worthy" of joining the European Union. Given the EU's current messes, now Turkey isn't so sure they want to be in the club anymore.
U.S.: Anti-abortion activists are divided on the best tactics for the movement, as some continue to push for draconian laws, only to seem them get rejected by voters.
