...Abbott pledged to prosecute FLDS members to the full extent of the law. And this week, after going through evidence taken from the Yearning for Zion Ranch, Abbott indicted Warren Jeffs - the "Prophet" of the polygamists - along with four of his followers on charges of first-degree felony sexual assault of a minor. (The four men were not named, and law-enforcement officials are still seeking their arrest.) Evidence gathered during the raid included two photographs of young girls - one age 12, the other 13 - sitting in Jeffs' lap and embracing him, and kissing him in one photo...
...replay of baseball's first international thriller: the Great White North vs. the South that Rose Again. In last year's rousing World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays snuck past the Atlanta Braves, and everyone was ready for Round 2 this October. Canada's Team had repelled a Yank assault to cruise to its American League East title. The Braves had staged one of the sport's come-from-behind astonishments to nip the San Francisco Giants on the last day of the season. This year all that separated the heavyweight champ and the top contender from their inevitable rematch...

Ferris is no ordinary truant. The point of his exercise is not to waste the day but to spend it wisely. Or wise-guyly. So he will spring his best girl (Mia Sara) from school. He will get his best friend (Alan Ruck, who is lovely as a boy struggling...
...Trouble began last February, when Marlene Armstrong, 44, her two daughters and two grandchildren became the first black family to rent on an all-white west side Cleveland street. There were taunts (''Nigger! Get off the porch!''), broken windows, fireworks assaults, ugly spray-painted graffiti (KKK) on the side of the house. Someone installed a ceramic black jockey on the lawn. One night last week a gang of young whites began launching bottle rockets toward the Armstrong house, but suddenly the fun went out of it. A 23-year-old friend of the Armstrongs' fired a shotgun at the whites...
