The local jails are sometimes too full to permit arrests for certain crimes. A local television report recently quoted an Oakland police estimate that one-fourth of the city...

While soft drinks make up a small part of most children’s caloric intake, the calories they do contain provide little nutritional value and are less filling than calories consumed through food. As former President Bill Clinton, who helped to broker the agreement, noted, “If an 8-year old took in 45 less calories per day, by the time he reached high school, he would weigh...
