The American Library Association reported that the young-adult trilogy was the No. 3 most-challenged work in U.S. libraries last year. The Associated Press reports that the first book appeared on the list at No. 5 last year, when anticipation for the film began to ramp up, with complaints about sexuality and violence. This year, the entire trilogy made the cut, and the complaints got much more elaborate, including concerns that the books are "anti-ethnic," "anti-family," and "occult/satanic."

A man accused of killing 77 people in a bomb and gun rampage in Norway last summer was sane at the time of the alleged crimes, two court-appointed psychiatric experts said in a report released Tuesday. Anders Behring Breivik was charged last month with committing acts of terror and voluntary homicide. He is accused of killing eight people in a bomb attack in Oslo, then going to Utoya Island outside the city and systematically gunning down 69 more people, many of them teens and young adults.

Federal agencies must report their progress this week in complying with the Plain Writing Act, a new decree that government officials communicate more conversationally with the public. Speaking plainly, they ain’t there yet. [...] Official communications must now employ the active voice, avoid double negatives and use personal pronouns. “Addressees” must now become, simply, “you.” Clunky coinages like “incentivizing” (first known usage 1970) are a no-no. The Code of Federal Regulations no longer goes by the abbreviation CFR.
