...event, which did not make most American TV news shows, finally took place in the Pontifical Institute of Notre Dame, Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Yisrael Lau sent a murmur through the crowd by claiming, falsely, that the Pope had recognized Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem. Tamimi's presentation, delivered in a harsh tone, was so bitterly partisan that the moderator felt the need to "remind everyone of the spirit in which we came here today, as religious people who can put aside our politics." The Pope sat through much of the meeting with his hand to his forehead, although whether...
...what is largely perceived to be a last-ditch effort to avoid Judge Jackson's looming decision - which many predict will be harsh - Microsoft proffered a deal last week that would have separated the company's Internet browser from its Windows operating system. The government rejected the offer, saying it did not go far enough in curbing Microsoft's monopoly control over the technology industry. Of course, says Professor Warren Grimes of Southwestern University Law School in Los Angeles, even if Judge Jackson does rule against Microsoft, that will hardly be the end of the story. "Jackson won't retry...
...worst thing about media saturation is that it can impart so few actual facts. Polls show that most Americans made up their minds quickly that John and/or Patsy Ramsey had killed their daughter. The Ramseys haven't quite entered the harsh terrain of the American mind where O.J. Simpson burns, but they have tarried near the border.

Another of Osborn's pseudo-arguments is the picture of a harsh pre-Roe world where back-alley abortions killed thousands each year. This claim is not simply a misrepresentation, but a consciously fabricated and propagated lie. Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of National Abortion Rights Activist League, who now opposes abortion, stated, "We spoke of 5,000 to 10,000 deaths a year [from back-alley abortions]. I confess that I knew the figures were totally false...It was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics." Actually...
...Banghart, an ultra-competitive, sometimes-showboating, often-overacting 5'8 point guard ("fiery" is too nice, "arrogant" too harsh) with a stellar career of her own, played up to her potential, which she failed to do against the Crimson the first time around. She set the Ivy three-point mark in the first half and connected on 8-of-16 from three-point land for the game while using an unorthodox scissor-kick shot. Her Ivy career ended with 145 treys, eclipsing the old mark...
