...child is a precise metaphysician. He (or she) writes down name, house number, street, town, state, ZIP code, country . . . and then, to be exact, "Planet Earth, the Solar System, the Galaxy, the Universe." Creation is an onion with many skins, all layering outward from the child's self. If he gets lost in the galaxy, he can find the way back, can fly through the concentric circles to his own house -- from outermost remoteness to innermost home.

Activists, including American Conservative Union chief David Keene and former Reagan Administration official Don Devine, have convened several times in secret to plot strategy. Two groups met last weekend, one in Dallas and another in suburban Maryland, and talk...
...past several weeks this group has been hanging a poster which enumerates the costs of abortion. We find it appalling that they would attempt to place a dollar value on the entire cost of abortion in our modern society.
