...Yugoslav astronomer Milutin Milankovitch had constructed a coherent theory. The ice ages, he argued, were triggered by changes in the shape of the earth's slightly oval orbit around the sun and in the planet's axis of rotation. Studies of the chemical composition of ocean-floor sediments, which depend on climate conditions when the material was laid down, more or less supported Milankovitch's predicted schedule of global glaciation...
...unless police turn up new evidence quickly, Harding's participation in the Winter Olympics next month will depend largely on which of Eckardt's stories athletics officials choose to believe. With the U.S. Figure Skating Association (USFSA) facing a Jan. 31 deadline to name its Olympic squad, Harding, 23, remains an ambiguous character in the plot to cripple Kerrigan.

When Clinton spoke about welfare reform last month, he discussed the importance of the stable two-parent family. Though some snickered at the President's apparent hypocrisy, Clinton's statements were justified. For people caught in the cultural and economic web of poverty, our public policies need to promote the kinds of behavior that will allow them to pull themselves out. Clinton was brave to talk about the values underlying his recent welfare reform legislation not only because of his own imperfections...
