...their bodies of unwanted fetuses. Among the dubious household remedies: swallowing narcotics made from hempseed, douching with the caustic disinfectant potassium permanganate, and even quaffing gin laced with iron filings. Such medieval measures are now giving way to a modern alternative: drugs that can induce abortion. Approved in pill form abroad, they appear to have what their noxious predecessors lacked: safety and efficacy. They are not, however, lacking in controversy...
...after a thoughtfully conceived and meticulously executed $160 million restoration, the great national depot -- the bustling terminus for hundreds of thousands of troops sent off to two world wars, the Capitol Hill transit point for eleven Presidents and 11 zillion federal hangers-on -- reopened in something like its original form for the first time in more than a decade.

For parents, the IRS message is unnerving: the Government will treat your children just the same as it treats you when it comes...
While the other astronauts continued to check out Discovery's systems, Pinky Nelson began the first of eleven science experiments: growing crystals, which form more precisely in zero gravity, of specialized proteins such as gamma interferon and an enzyme found in the AIDS virus. By studying the crystals, scientists at the Center for Macromolecular Crystallography at the University of Alabama-Birmingham hope to learn more about the structure of the proteins, which may enable researchers to create new disease-fighting drugs. Other experiments scheduled during the mission included the production and study of crystalline organic thin films, evaluation...
...Crimson (6-2) started poorly on the attack, exhibiting little in the form of a set offense in the first quarter, but sharp shooting by freshman Mike Johnson and sophomore John Marshall helped stake Harvard to a 5-1 halftime lead...
