...great friend of the BGLSA. But I must commend BGLSA members for recognizing that the best way to fight free speech is with more free speech. While I am uncomfortable with Oppenheimer putting up 200 posters from another organization, I have to admit that his approach is far more constructive (and mature) than the usual response to AALARM posters--ripping them down...
Moran has good feelings about Simpson. "I felt like he was a close neighbor. If I saw him out on the street in trouble, I would help him." She does admit that the "prosecutors had their high points. I sort of fell for [Nicole's] 911 tape and some of the DNA testimony." She says, however, that "they dwelled so much on the beating case.

"But then there's the reality: there's no heaven, no afterlife of the sort we were promised and no personal God." Or, as he writes in one poem, "Just the old truth dawning: there is no next-time-round." Readers of Heaney--or, for that matter, of Dante or of T.S. Eliot--are free to disagree with his beliefs...
...Supreme Court agreed to decide in the next few months another high-profile issue: whether state-supported and all-male Virginia Military Institute must admit women. The sex-discrimination case, whose outcome will also affect efforts by the Citadel in South Carolina to keep out women, will be decided by an eight-member bench; Justice Clarence Thomas disqualified himself because his son is a V.M.I. senior...
