Are the "United States" now fighting "a state," so soon?
Headline in The NY Times right now: More Agents Head to Minnesota as U.S. Takes Over Shooting Investigation.
The point is the distinction made between "Minnesota" and "U.S."
Have there ever been such headlines?!? I'm pretty old, but I can't remember ANYthing like this.
