  What is a runaway grand jury
A runaway grand jury is one in which the grand jurors have taken control of an investigation and are ignoring a prosecutor's efforts to rein them in.
Runaway grand juries were not uncommon in the early twentieth century.
The best known of these runaway grand juries is probably the New York grand jury in the 1930's that barred prosecutors from coming into the grand jury room and took off on its own investigation of corruption in New York city government.

 Thermal runaway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature leading to a destructive result.
In chemical engineering, thermal runaway is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control, often resulting in an explosion.
Thermal runaway occurs when the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further increase in the reaction rate.

 USATODAY.com - Munro's 'Runaway' hits home   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Like much of Alice Munro's previous work, Runaway, her 10th short-story collection, is set in the barren, often isolated provinces of Canada and spans several decades up through the '70s.
But most significantly, Munro illuminates the peculiarity and loneliness that often accompanies women whose temperament and intelligence sets them apart from their loved ones and who struggle to be free of conventional restraints, then struggle to cope with the consequences.
Runaway, which just won the Giller Prize, Canada's biggest literary award for fiction, may very well be the synthesizing work of one of literature's keenest investigators into the human soul.

 TechnoFILE Reviews "Runaway" on DVD
Runaway is an imaginative yarn of the near future in which household and industrial robots are practically ubiquitous, so much so that a special police unit has been formed to handle their inevitable breakdowns (called "runaways").
This sets the scene and the mood very well, and gets the audience ready for the next renegade robot, a far more serious "breakdown" in which a domestic robot is holed up in a residence, armed with a gun it has already used to deadly effect.
Runaway is a good yarn, well conceived and well made, and a story that gives us a glimpse into a robot-laced future that, with any luck, won't be too far off.

 DVD Review - Runaway
"Runaway" has a sense of whimsical sophistication, as I pointed out before, and I have always enjoyed the set-up with the robots run amok.
The story of "Runaway" is somewhat predicable, especially the climax at which is repeatedly hinted during the first 30-minutes of the movie.
While it may not be up-to-date anymore and cyber-police seems much more of an issue in our day and age, during the 80s, a robotic world and threat was something more palpable, helping to make the movie work.

Shannon and Crook were given a three hour block of time to record four songs, Shannon's "Runaway" and "Jody," and Crook's "The Snake" and "The Wanderer." In actuality, it was a split session.
When he was writing 'Runaway,' I honestly didn't think that it was going to make it because it sounded so 'busy.' I actually preferred the B-side, 'Jody,' over 'Runaway.' I love slow ballads and country music.
As you know, 'Runaway' was so different that it didn't resemble anything else that had been done in music before.

 A Runaway Greenhouse Effect?
(This type of runaway is also called a "positive feedback loop".) When the oceans were gone the atmosphere would finally stabilize at a much higher temperature and at much higher density, because all the water would now be in the atmosphere.
Suppose the preceding runaway raised the temperature so high that chemical reactions begin to occur that drive the carbon dioxide from the rocks into the atmosphere (the process is called sublimation; a few hundred degrees Celsius would be sufficient).
Then another runaway would occur as the carbon dioxide feeding into the atmosphere would accelerate the heating, which would in turn accelerate the transfer of carbon dioxide from the rocks to the atmosphere.

The measure, had it passed, would have given U.S. producers of movies with budgets under US$10-million a 15% tax credit on the first US$25,000 of each employee's salary, as long as half the film was made in California.
A federal bill nearly identical to the failed California measure is being co-sponsored by a liberal Democrat, Howard Berman, and a conservative Republican, David Dreier, who both represent Los Angeles County, which just this month has shut down nine health clinics for lack of funds.
Meanwhile, scandal has erupted around another government reaction to runaway production: A film-shoot permit agency set up by Los Angeles city and county to promote production in L.A. was raided and placed under investigation this month after the local district attorney found evidence indicating political corruption and possible fraud.

I hereby find Runaway Jury not guilty on the charges of witness tampering, jury manipulation, and contempt of court.
