...into marriage with her first cousin, Allen Steed. In a town that is a 50-50 split between old Mormon residents and newcomers with more liberal politics and lifestyles - a split echoed in the makeup of the eight-person jury - it was a gamble for both sides. Would Mormons harbor secret sympathy for polygamists, or come down harder on the sect? Would newcomers be horrified by the child marriages, or see the prosecution as religious persecution? After two and a half days of deliberation and the replacement of one juror, they found that Jeffs did "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly solicit...
...9/11 [Sept. 17]. We should never forget what happened that day, and we still need to resolve the serious issues of rebuilding and, to our shame, taking care of health and property damage. But in a country that celebrates its birth with discount sales, gives passing recognition to Pearl Harbor Day and virtually ignores the ending dates of the two World Wars, the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks needs to be put into perspective. People who lost loved ones will have grieved and marked the occasion in their own way, as they should. For the rest of the nation...

But in a country that celebrates its birth with discount sales, gives passing recognition to Pearl Harbor Day and virtually ignores the ending dates of the two World Wars, the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks needs to be put into perspective. People who lost loved ones will have grieved and marked the occasion in their own way, as they should. For the rest of the nation, Sept. 11 should have been a day to look at the calendar, reflect...
...attendees decided that they needed a "harbor master" in New Orleans, someone who could coordinate the various organizations, funders and school operators. So one of the group, Matt Candler, was recruited to become Sarah's chief executive officer at New Schools for New Orleans. Matt had a great job helping charter-school operators in New York City, and he and his wife had just had their first child, so I thought it would be a hard sell. But when we talked, I realized that he was not only willing but also eager to move down. New Orleans was already becoming...
