...politics, Laurene's work setting up a mentor group for a nearby high school and tales of a presidential visit last summer when Bill Clinton rang up and invited himself to dinner so he could meet with Silicon Valley executives. "We had to rent a Dumpster to clean out the house before they came!" says Jobs, whose prenuptial housing style was "spare," if that's the term for lacking furniture. The couple giggle over their search for cheap wine glasses to serve the President. The menu was, naturally, vegan...
Depravity was defined downward last week, six months after two New Jersey teenagers--who had been given everything but a conscience--delivered a baby boy and briskly disposed of him in a Dumpster before heading to the White Glove Car Wash to rinse off the blood. Now we have Melissa Drexler, who slipped into the bathroom at her senior prom, delivered a 6-lb. 6-oz. baby boy and tossed him in the trash basket with the soiled paper towels in time to get back to the party.

Whenever these grisly abandonments occur, right-to-life proponents argue that we've arrived at the bottom of the slippery slope they've been warning us about since Roe v. Wade in 1973.

Alarmed to learn of the many third-trimester abortions performed after six months, under milewide exceptions for vague reasons of mental health, Democratic Senator Thomas Daschle introduced a bill that would have banned all abortions in which the baby...
Franklin, which had not seen a murder in nine years, is overwhelmed with rumors: a boy who threatened to spill the beans was found dead in a Dumpster; another body was thrown from a water tower; not only was pizza flung in the air in celebration, slices were smeared on the faces of the dead. None of those rumors were true. So what is the truth? "I can't comment on the motive," says Sussex County prosecutor Dennis O'Leary. "But I can tell you what it's not. There was no intent to rob. It was not an initiation...
