...this is not to suggest that caution is a bad thing: Romeo and Juliet died prematurely, after all. Romance has always included some degree of calculation. Indeed, the very notion of true love, according to many scholars, is a relatively recent invention; in most places, in most times, marriage has been a practical arrangement. Those who scoff at matrimonial ads in Indian papers may have few qualms about placing SWM notices in their local tabloids; a blind date is only an arranged marriage in potentia. If disease and collision liability have put a crimp in promiscuity, that...
...Pentagon budget is tight, the years that follow promise even more bad news for hard-pressed defense firms. The General Accounting Office estimates that as much as $150 billion will have to be hacked out of defense plans over the next five years. One reason: giant, multi-year spending commitments in the early 1980s are still rolling through the budgets like a giant bow wave, pushing aside other priorities. One of the biggest is the Northrop B-2, which is now expected to cost $530 million per plane, making it the most expensive weapons system in history. Eliminating the plane...

Not bad for 42 and for a guy people still mistake for Frey...
...Wisconsin had passed their own rules against defamation just before the ACLU members convened on the university's campus. Nadine Strossen, of New York University School of Law, who was defending the ACLU's traditional position on free speech, said of Wisconsin's new rules, "You can tell how bad they are by the fact that the regents had to make an amendment at the last minute exempting classroom discussion! What is surprising is that Donna Shalala ((chancellor of the university)) went along with it." So did constitutional lawyers on the faculty...
Stevens promptly issued a statement from jail categorically denying police claims. "I am not the Green River killer. They have made me out to be a very bad person, and I am not," he declared. His lawyer Craig Beles says his client "is a colorful character, but he's no murderer." Students and faculty at Gonzaga, who describe Stevens as quiet and studious, were stunned by the allegations that he may have lived a secret life. Chris Bales, a former Gonzaga law professor who taught Stevens criminal law, characterized him as a "gentle fugitive" who posed no threat to society...
