When I began my year as Justice LEWIS POWELL's law clerk, my co-clerks and I asked him at lunch to discuss his views on abortion. Powell was a true conservative and a product of Mr. Jefferson's Virginia. Why, then, did he join the majority in Roe v. Wade? His answer wasn't about constitutional theory or the "Framers' Intent." Instead, he told the story of a young, black messenger at his old law firm in Richmond. The youth came to him terrified that he would be arrested for the death of his girlfriend, whom he'd helped...

...Band takes the stage in Mardi Gras costumes and towering headdresses. The crowd at the Riverbend amphitheater roars its agreement: 18,500 otherwise respectable people, many in full tropical regalia--foam parrot hats, grass skirts and coconut-shell bras. And that's just the men. (Let's not even discuss the folks dancing naked on their boats in the Ohio River, right behind the stage.) Buffett's fans, the Parrotheads--so named by a friend of Buffett's at a Cincinnati, Ohio, show in 1986--have made tonight his 35th consecutive sell-out in this city, the kind of middle...
