...look different from a human adult, so do newborn infants, toddlers, adolescents and the elderly. Human growth and development occur along a continuum, not in fully distinct and separate stages. Because there is no significant developmental change in the fetus from one day to the next, any point chosen for the termination of its life is necessarily arbitrary. Such scientific facts indicate that a fetus is entitled to the same Constitutional protection afforded to a newborn infant, from whom the fetus is separated in age by less than nine months of development...
...lead at a time when being front runner is more important than ever. With California moving its primary to early March, New York expected to do the same, and a host of Southern and Western states scheduling theirs in the weeks that follow, both parties are likely to have chosen their nominees by mid-March. That means that by the Iowa caucuses in February, any credible candidate will probably need to be running field operations in 25 states and television ads in eight...
...banana battle grows increasingly absurd as it threatens to spread to other food groups, from ham and cheese to wafers and waffles, and to such oddities as candles, cashmere sweaters and model trains.

In the full, three-century context, Cavaliers, aristocrats, and bishops pretty much lost and Puritans, Yankees, self-made entrepreneurs, Anglo-Saxon nationalists, and expansionists had the edge, especially in America...
WASHINGTON: The House managers were right -- the tapes helped. Carefully chosen extracts from Monica and Bill, Vernon Jordan and Sidney Blumenthal allowed Reps. James Rogan and Asa Hutchinson to finally present a digestible version of their case: Bill Clinton lied to everyone he knew, about anything he could, and he lied not just to deceive but to survive. Did the President, as one of Hutchinson's charts asked pointedly, "take care that the laws were faithfully executed"? It certainly wasn't a priority, and Lewinsky -- believable, often charming, and definitely wised-up -- told us so. But what Rogan called Clinton...
