...dilemma my mother faced 20-some years ago. Many will choose the life of conference calls and long hours at a desk. Of those who have children in addition to jobs, many will feel constantly worried that they are not giving their children enough time and interest.

Other cities are crafting their own solutions. St. Paul, Minn., which has had to forgo Winter Carnival ice sculptures and on-ice softball tournaments in recent years because of rising temperatures, is using a biomass-fired power plant for both heat and electricity. Keene, N.H., is harnessing methane and other gases at its landfill to run a generator that powers its recycling center.

With the extra tax revenue thus collected, Massachusetts could augment its non-discriminatory state-run adoption services more than enough to compensate for the Catholic Charities’ most un-Christian decision to exit the adoption field—without compromising the state’s commitment...
...this week in order to preserve the Law School’s nondiscrimination policy, Congress still could have forced the school to let military recruiters on campus.The Solomon Amendment, initially passed by Congress in 1994, gives schools a choice: take federal funds and let military recruiters on campus, or forgo the money to protest the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.But according to Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. ’76, in an ruling issued Monday, Congress doesn’t even need to give...
