...American-born Cardinal, who was Archbishop of San Francisco before Benedict brought him to Rome, said that there have already been some abuse cases in which the Vatican had "made exceptions" to canon laws - cases in which victims may not have spoken up until years later. "We found that many of the cases go back over quite a number of years, and [victims] don't feel personally able to come forward until they reach a certain level of maturity. Some canon norms are like statutes of limitations, and if the case warrants...we've been able to make exceptions...
Other values such as charity, tolerance and respect, are some of the same ones that Muslims, American or not, are taught to uphold in their daily lives. As an American-born Muslim, it's easy for me to follow these values - just as easy as it is for my husband and his friends to gather together to watch the Super Bowl: just sketch in some beards, insert a prayer break and delete the alcohol. (The legal drinking age is one American law that Muslims disregard completely - Islam prohibits alcohol consumption, at any age.) Such strict rules, to some...
...word of advice for Barbara Bach: if the American-born actress is wondering about a Christmas present for her husband, she could do worse than buy him a thick pair of long johns. He'll need them where he's going. Not because he has become enfeebled by age or excess, far from it: at 67, Richard Starkey, a.k.a.

Next month, Ringo releases his 16th solo studio album of songs written...
...personal setback may not turn out to be the harbinger of victory that activists like Dane hope it to be. She was the pro-immigrant caucus's poster alien, their best chance to highlight the cruelty of the current status quo. Her deportation will effectively separate her from her American-born son, Saul, 8, at least temporarily. While his mother was living at the church, it was Saul who represented her case at rallies and events around the country, and he is now in the care of the Chicago church's pastor and his wife. Arellano's allies hope that...
...their graduation requirements—will be sent home to reapply next year.This is a misguided policy because high-skill immigrants and guest workers contribute tremendously to our economy. For instance, one-third of Microsoft’s domestic employees are foreigners. And a 2004 study revealed that more American-born Intel Science finalists had parents who came to America on an H-1B visa than had domestically-born parents. Congress must recognize that the halo effect around these talented, innovative workers benefits the entire American economy. If we turn H-1B applicants away, they will take their training...
