...what she wants. But she is also a likable, kind human being, they say. She was raised in affluent Greenwich, Connecticut. Her parents divorced when she was a child, and Bessette grew up with her mother, a school administrator who eventually was remarried to a prominent doctor. Bessette attended a Catholic high school and went on to Boston University, where she majored in elementary education...
That case is hard to make when even abortion opponents admit that few hospitals perform third-trimester abortions and fewer still the controversial procedure in which a doctor removes a fetus feetfirst, then makes an incision in the baby's head to suck out the brain, collapse the skull and extract the head from the birth canal. In many such abortions, the fetus is so severely deformed or the pregnancy so complicated that carrying the child to term would threaten the life or health of the mother. Here lies the core of the fight: Clinton supports...
...clear, the reason for it is not. Certainly, it has nothing to do with temperament; the curmudgeonly seem to grunt no more frequently than the congenial. Nor does health or fitness play a role. I exercise four times a week and eat a diet so low in fat my doctor nearly took to prescribing me pork chops, and yet my hoo-boy arrived right on time. But if the roots of the grunt can be found in neither physiology nor psychology, where do they lie? Increasingly, I've begun to suspect that the answer is evolution...
...that is just the working class, to whom Leigh, a Jewish doctor's son who grew up in the working-class Midlands city of Salford, feels some kinship. His films are mostly unforgiving to the upper-middle class and those who would join it.

Who's Who (1978) turns a stockbroker into a toady of Dickensian breadth...
...antiabortion activists, however, it is a disaster. RU-486 can be given in a doctor's office rather than an abortion clinic, so protesters won't know where to set up their picket lines. The drug does have some serious drawbacks: it has to be taken within seven weeks of a woman's last menstrual period; it fails about 5% of the time; and it can have side effects, including cramping, nausea and severe bleeding. In Europe it is used for only about 20% of all abortions. But in the U.S., where women routinely run protest gauntlets at clinic doors...
