...Indian Service workers often sold Indians as slaves and tortured them for the sheer pleasure of it. The harassment and murder has become so widespread, in fact, that it is hard to find elders among today's few remaining tribes. The Indians just are not given time to grow...
...countless characteristics other than sex, and two gonosomes or sex chromosomes. In the female, these are a pair of Xs; in the male, an X and a Y (see diagram). When a sperm fertilizes an ovum, each supplies half the 46 chromosomes for the combination of cells that will grow into a baby. If the sperm contains an X chromosome, the baby gets that X plus one from the mother, and will be an XX girl. If the sperm contains a Y chromosome, the baby gets that plus an X from the mother; the potent male Y overpowers the single...
United in Hatred. South Korea's second line of defense-and the real thorn in North Korea's side-is the continued strength of its economy.

Worst hit, as usual, will be new housing, which is uniquely sensitive to a downturn when rates jump-as mortgage lenders agreed they surely will. A more immediate reaction came on the New York Stock Exchange...
...economical way to obtain redress since the legal fees can be taken from the total damages awarded. Such important cases as the school-desegregating Brown v. Board of Education and the one-man one-vote Reynolds v. Sims were both class actions. And the practice is now likely to grow more common. The reason is a 2-to-l decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals in New York City on what may be the largest class action ever brought to recover damages...
