...child. But Iowa allows for private adoptions, an arrangement that has become increasingly common as the number of parents seeking healthy infants has outstripped the supply 40 to 1. State adoption agencies can't possibly meet the demand, so prospective parents conduct their own searches, place classified ads, hire adoption lawyers to try to find a baby on their...
...believe in sure things -- not even Arnold Schwarzenegger. When you hire Arnold for a movie, as Columbia Pictures did for Last Action Hero, the industry's working assumption has been that "you couldn't miss $75 or $80 million at the box office," in the words of one Sony executive.

Arrests by the U.S. Border Patrol along the U.S.-Mexican frontier dropped from 1.7 million in the year before the act took effect, to 890,000 three years later. But the number has climbed back to 1.2 million a year. As a rule of thumb two or three illegals get away for every one who is caught...
