Julian English is a man who squanders what fate gave him. He has a country-club membership and a loving wife. His decline and fall, over the course of three days around Christmas, is a matter of spending, liquor and a couple of reckless gestures. That his calamity is petty only makes it more powerful...
...injuries (fatal or otherwise) helping a disabled friend. Were the AEO to encourage students to aid disabled Harvard students, Harvard could be held financially liable in the event of a tragedy. We live in an increasingly litigious age in a fiercely litigious country. It makes no sense to tempt fate (nor jury awards) by rewording the policy, especially when it is impossible to enforce in the first place.

Presidents, especially those named Bush, must not appoint Supreme Court judges who, once robed for life, turn out to be squishy moderates. "No more Souters" was the right's rallying cry, so when he said he knew her well, knew her heart, knew she wouldn't change, he thought conservatives...
