...20th century Americans," Brennan unrepentantly told a Georgetown University audience three weeks ago. It is "little more than arrogance" to believe that anyone can "gauge accurately the intent of the framers." Last week Moderate Justice John Paul Stevens weighed in with remarks to a group of Chicago lawyers, attacking elements of the Meese-Reagan "original intent" vision because it "overlooks the importance of subsequent events in the development of our law." Even Conservative Justice William Rehnquist spoke out last week, though more cryptically, when he criticized Franklin Roosevelt for his "quite unnecessary" zeal in trying to pack the Supreme Court...
...hometown, vs. the crowd-pleasing, passionate young provincial up for a title shot. Intensifying the tension was old-fashioned human loathing. Long before the end of the match, the contestants were barely speaking to each other, and shook hands perfunctorily. "The best part," a chess master told the Chicago Tribune, "is that these guys hate each other...

And in Chicago, United announced that it was buying 116 planes worth $3.1 billion from Boeing.

Calling the C.L.S. movement a force for "philistinism" and "mediocrity," Bator believes that the intellectual integrity and academic excellence of Harvard are at stake. "On that," he has declared, "there is no right or left. Only right and wrong...
That is not the film's only variation on a theme. Hopping freights, stealing food, evading the clutches of adults both well and ill meaning, as she travels from Chicago to Washington State, where her widowed father has been forced to go for work, Natty predictably acquires a furry, four-legged friend. But this is no instantly lovable mutt; it is a full-grown, fang-baring wolf--the fairy-tale villain turned into a saving presence. He makes an apt symbol for a handsome, moral and emotionally satisfying movie that is too strong-minded to settle for those virtues...
