Complaints of racial discrimination to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission were roughly the same in 1995 as in 1990--about 29,000. "But the EEOC is certainly not the primary enforcer of employment rights in this country," says H. Candace Gorman, a prominent plaintiff's attorney in Chicago. "The private bar is." And that's because the financial stakes are higher than ever. Thanks, in part, to a 1991 law that permits pain and suffering awards in workplace discrimination cases, lawyers can make millions on a successful class action...
...poster boy for capital punishment--perhaps the most effective since Ted Bundy--McVeigh is causing so much discussion that "it's as if we have not had a death penalty until now," says Bryan Stevenson, director of the Equal Justice Initiative of Alabama, a nonprofit organization that represents capital defendants. Foes of the death penalty find this troubling, since McVeigh's case is so unusual, but they should be grateful to him for reopening a debate that was essentially over in America.

...Desk is in mothballs now, and so are any questions about Bruckheimer's ability to do it himself.

Con Air, which could equal that take, wears the Jerry Bruckheimer Films label, but it has all the S. and B. accoutrements: a director bred on Madison Avenue, a Lego-assembly plot about escaping from a confined space, a lot of chatty male attitude, a dogged belief that car crashes and gay men are hilarious, and the near...
...compared due to drastic changes in the transfer process. Students can now request a transfer to a particular house only if they know of a larger existing group in the house with whom they will room. Students who wish to transfer to a particular house but only know an equal or smaller number of possible roommates in the other house face the possibility of ending up in their old house with their friends required to transfer. Otherwise, students can specify three houses they do not wish to transfer to but will still be randomly assigned among the remaining nine...
