FRENEMIES
Frazier Glenn Miller, the man charged with killing three people at Jewish sites in Kansas, has an unlikely enemy: Don Black, founder of hate website Stormfront.org. Black tells Caitlin Dickson that white nationalists have long shunned Miller—and it's people like him who give the movement a bad name.
SPOTTY
A fully vaccinated woman contracted, then spread measles, reports Elizabeth Lopatto. If you're vaccinated against measles, you can't contract them, right? Wrong.
TINY VIOLIN

On the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, a New York Times report on accused terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev reveals how he is separated from most basic human interaction during his time in a federal medical facility in Massachusetts. While imprisoned under "special administrative measures" approved by Attorney General Eric Holder, he is not allowed to speak or pray with other prisoners, nor write more than a single letter each week that is three pages long (double-sided). Tsarnaev is allowed one phone call a week, and it can only be to his family. When he reads newspapers or magazines, classified ads are removed because the government fears they could be used to transmit coded messages to him. The American Civil Liberties Union tried to fight against these special administrative measures in court but has been unsuccessful.

In honor of Tax Day, the Republican National Committee announced it's suing the Internal Revenue Service for delaying its response to requests for documents detailing scrutiny of Tea Party groups. The RNC filed Freedom of Information Act requests on May 21, 2013, but the IRS has claimed multiple extensions. The RNC has been waiting 226 business days for the IRS documents. "We're filing this suit because the Obama administration has a responsibility to be transparent and accountable to the American people. The IRS has a legal obligation to answer our inquiry for these records," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement. "On Tax Day especially, Americans deserve to know whether they can trust the agency to which they're sending their taxes."
