Still, current committee members and candidates differ on what they emphasize...
...This has become a volatile area of the law," says Cohen. "Reasonable minds differ because of the complexity of the issues, and the result is a lot of indecision and contradictory outcomes." Certainty, however, is what the tobacco industry has always sought: initially by successfully squelching or winning every smoking lawsuit for decades, and lately by trying to strike a nationwide deal that included strict limits on lawsuits. Congress did not buy the nationwide deal, and the recent arrangement with 46 state attorneys general does not cover individual lawsuits. That leaves tobacco companies where they don't want...
Human beings and the great apes had a common ancestor about 5 million years ago. The genes of the two groups differ hardly at all, but some of them are differently arranged. By using that information, along with hominid fossils, we shall learn what genetic changes made it possible for the ancestors of modern people to stand upright (about 4 million years ago) and then to speak. As a by-product, we shall be able to trace the migration routes of our human ancestors who emigrated from Africa and came to populate the surface of the earth. A half-century...

Anytime I go to the movies in a mall I can see with my own eyes that the deviationists are thick on the ground. I go anyway; I like movies. I confine my comments on the other moviegoers to some grumbling heard only by my wife. I'm confident that I'm personally invulnerable to the charms of Calvin KIein or Tommy Hilfiger, but I'm not up to telling other...
