...designed to help combat a runaway rate of teenage pregnancy, religious groups presented a list of 56 objections. In middleclass San Juan Capistrano, Calif., the fray over sex-education reform grew so heated last spring that conservative opponents showed up at a school-board meeting dressed in Revolutionary War garb and bearing a cannon...
...tournament is Tommy's Battle Zone V, which attracts thousands of fans who vote on each one-on-one dance-off with the volume of their cheers. A documentary that is all action, no narration, Rize lobs stereotype grenades--political (blacks in whiteface) and social (Tommy in clown garb at a funeral service)--that are defused by the genial mood.

Throw in that preternatural terpsichore, and Rize rises further. It is nothing less than a call...
Rejoice! As we approach Commencement, we celebrate our warriors in Crimson garb.

After police tossed in tear gas, the suspect, clutching his cell phone, surrendered...

We made a pit stop near Framingham and everyone-everyone-milling about at the McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts counters was wearing Sox garb-a hat, a sweatshirt, some with the world champs information and some proudly antique. One guy wore a Pats jersey, but looked like he knew he had made a mistake. We left the rest area and returned to the highway and almost instantly spotted a fire-engine-red Mini-Cooper with white...
