...support their initiative, Michigan welfare officials are citing years of widely accepted corporate drug testing; their opponents counter that private institutions are not limited, as government programs are, by the Fourth Amendment. Who's right? It depends on whom you ask, says TIME senior reporter Alain Sanders. "The current Supreme Court is very conservative on the Fourth Amendment, and they?ve given government a lot of freedom to enact what many consider to be unreasonable intrusions." In the past, explains Sanders, "the court has generally upheld random drug tests when it has perceived an important impact on safety...
...many of the U.S. pros do not. The ever helpful Monty explained, "We all come from more of a teamlike society than the Americans. They are brought up to be individuals, which isn't wrong of course. It's just the way they are." Duval can only counter with, "I don't see it as the be-all, end-all," and Woods has said of his Ryder experience, "I played in only one and didn't enjoy it at all."

Back in New York, the underfunded Brooklyn Museum of Art ? which was hoping that "Sensations" would help put it back on the road to the big leagues ? faces a no-win situation: If they...
...fierce comb-through were enough to annihilate the bloodsucking pests and their eggs, but now those days of relative ease may be over. According to the results of a Harvard University study of 75 lice-infested children, some lice are no longer susceptible to over-the-counter medicines traditionally recommended by pediatricians. And so kids who come home with a case of head lice and are treated with the popular chemical return to school with their infestation and proceed to reinfect the whole class. And the cycle begins again...
