These vagaries highlight the problem with this type of legislation—namely, that it is arbitrary. If someone’s feelings are hurt, they can claim harassment.

Its new crowning glory is a glass-domed central atrium, which spirals up from the expanded fresh-food stalls on the lower-ground level to the women's clothing and beauty stands on the second floor. There you might splurge on a $2,600 Clive Christian...
...season’s inconsistency in the crease, questions abounded about sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter entering this season. But Richter continued to dispel any lingering doubts with his stellar performance in Friday night’s 2-1 victory against longtime rival Cornell. “Kyle made some highlight-reel saves again, and I think they really added to our momentum,” co-captain Mike Taylor said. When the Big Red came alive in the second period, peppering shot after shot on goal, Richter stepped up to the challenge. Although Cornell never relented in its offensive attack...
