"People don't really understand the psychology of waiting and waiting for a child and bringing one home," she argues. "It is ridiculous to say, 'When you have a problem, give...
...first sign of coming events was modest. On a lot across from the Aware Woman Center for Choice, which performs abortions, two portable toilets sprouted. They were put there by Operation Rescue, the militant pro-life organization that had bought the property in part to demonstrate near the clinic without violating a court-ordered buffer zone.

Zuromskis '66 of University Health Services said yesterday that no one has been treated in the past few days for heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or dehydration, precautions are still wise.
