...right to life or the right to choose as automatic and unfreighted have matured through their own experiences and those of their friends. It is increasingly common for Democratic candidates who would once have allowed not the least ethical elasticity into their positions to embrace the careful Clinton Construct: that abortion should be safe, legal and rare. When extremists on the right suggest that liberals view abortion as not just a right but practically a sport, or extremists on the left suggest that there is nothing deeply personal at stake here, only political, they are operating outside the region where...
...supplies a few weeks ago, roiling world gas markets. But there are tall hurdles. The U.S. has just five LNG receiving terminals, and while regulators in the U.S., Canada and Mexico have approved 15 more, the projects are hardly assured.

...mind-body connection in sports is not some New Age construct. Thoughts have direct and powerful connections to all sorts of physiological functions. Think hard enough about jumping out of an airplane, and your heart will start to race and your palms to sweat. Other thought-induced changes may be more subtle, and for athletes who rely on fine motor skills, those imperceptible adjustments can mean the difference between a strikeout and a home...
