...wife Lori unbuckled their seat belts and dropped to what is normally the ceiling of the DC-10. Separately, they hustled two of their three children out of the wreckage. But each thought the other had baby Sabrina. The father ran back to the fuselage. "I could hear her crying, but I couldn't see her." There was too much smoke, then flames. But passenger Jerry Schemmel had heard the cries first. He plunged into the fiery fuselage, found the baby in an upside-down overhead bin, ran into the cornfield and thrust the infant into a woman's arms...
...judge did grant Paramount's motion for a ten-day stay of the Time-Warner merger while Paramount appeals to the Delaware Supreme Court, which agreed to consider briefs throughout this week and hear the final arguments in the case ! on July 24.

When Roberts is cooking at the keys, though, he serves up jazz that is not only knowledgeable but accessible. Contemporary jazz can be too hip to draw in the listener: the more intrepid the music, the more insistent it seems about sealing itself off. Roberts' gift is to keep connected to past...
Nevertheless, O'Connor is the pro-choice movement's best hope in the three abortion cases that the court agreed to hear in its next term, which begins in October. Two of the cases involve parental notification; the third, from Illinois, requires that facilities where abortions are performed must meet stringent hospital-level licensing standards, a step so costly that it could force many clinics to shut down. Any of the cases could give the Justices an opportunity to attack Roe directly...
