...early the next morning and trudge to the office to sign the "tardy book." Eton has upgraded itself academically in the past 10 years and is considered not just a training ground for the rich and titled but one of the best schools in the country. Wills seems equal to the rigors. Says Bradford: "If he were not up to it, they would not have sent...
...Associated Press that just days after the bombing, Saudi officials recovered what they believe to be the bombers' getaway car, but American officials said they had not been told of the development. The report underscores recent complaints by FBI agents in Dhahran who say they have not been given equal access to evidence collected by the Saudis.

...highly contentious issue of affirmative action, however, Scalia has been accused of abandoning both his fidelity to original intent and his habitual deference to the legislature. He argues that the 14th Amendment's equal-protection clause forbids virtually any racial classifications in law despite the fact that the very Congress that passed the 14th Amendment went on to pass laws using just such classifications...
