Last week's decision would seem to bode well for those and other affirmative-action schemes.

After a college marriage that lasted only two years, she fetched up in Cleveland, eking out a living out of the photography that had turned from hobby to vocation.

...years, imprisonment, he dismissed that possibility. "For five years the Federal Government has attempted to build a case against me but has succeeded in building nothing more than a house of cards," he said.
