...laws and return to the system in which one parent has to prove the other guilty of adultery, addiction or worse. True, the divorce rate rose after the introduction of no-fault divorce in the late '60s and '70s. But the divorce rate was already rising at a healthy clip before that, so there's no guarantee that the repeal of no-fault laws will reduce the divorce rate now. In fact, one certain effect will be to generate more divorces of the rancorous, potentially child-harming variety. If you think "Mommy and Daddy aren't getting along" sounds...
...Milford on Wednesday and dusting off earlier proposals during the following days.

He stopped showing the tape, but wouldn't pay damages. So Bronstein, who suffers from a thyroid condition, is taking Letterman to court for invasion of privacy. Does Dick Assman...
...artillery who had big games against the Huskies were Alison Feaster (21 points)--the Ivy League Player of the Week for the second time in the past 21 days--and co-captains Proudfit and Elizabeth Gettelman. Along with the high expectations from key personnel, the Crimson hopes to clip the Eagles' wings with a smothering defense and fast-paced offense...
