...perhaps the women's strongest showing all season, the Crimson was just shy of a first place finish, falling only to Brown by 14 points. The Bears led the meet with 128 points, while Harvard followed with...
...Arcata, however, where 74% of voters approved the state's marijuana measure, Chief Brown considers his policy one of common sense. "Out of self-preservation," he says, he set up his own system. Now about 100 local residents have sat for mug shots, agreed to let Brown talk to their physicians, and walked away with a "City of Arcata Proposition 215 Identification Card."

...anger and tension to the child. Calm, assured answers ("We're blessed to be an adoptive family," "My husband is Chinese") disarm loaded questions and offer examples of coping behavior. "I had to model appropriate behavior and give answers I hope my children would use," says Nancy G. Brown, co-founder of Multiracial Americans of Southern California and mother of Nicole and Rachelle, two biracial black-and-white girls. Her daughters, now teenagers, handle questions with aplomb and simple, swift replies...
