MERIDEN, Connecticut (Reuters) – A $100 million claim on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor is the first legal action to come out of the Connecticut school shooting that left 26 children and adults dead two weeks ago.

My understanding is that he was implacably opposed to any research on Cold Fusion. If you will pardon my wild speculation, how about this?
