...Justice Thurgood Marshall aptly pointed out in his stinging dissent, the court's ruling will have far greater impact on non-white communities than on white ones. Nearly one-third of the women who received Medicaid funds for abortions in the past were minority group members, a disproportionately high share. Marshall's frank summary of the court's decision is understandably harsh...
Adams estimated that the devices will save 9,000 lives each year because drivers cannot avoid using them (some 80% of drivers and passengers do not buckle their lap and shoulder belts now). Air bags do not require a motorist to do anything; they inflate instantly upon the impact of a collision, keeping the driver and front-seat passengers from being hurled against the dashboard or windshield. To be fully effective, however, an air-bag system should be supplemented with a lap belt-which is not passive. Only one other passive-restraint system exists, a shoulder harness that automatically protects...

Ivy engineers a divorce, schedules rendezvous for adulterers, sheds the appropriate number of tears at funerals and calmly confronts...

...great team by any means (its 20 losses by far the most amongst the final eight), the Diabalos entered the Far Western Regionals against powerful USC, the dominant force in modern college baseball (and not without a small impact on the major leagues: Fred Lynn and Bill Lee would certainly come to mind in Boston). The Trojans had inflicted 7-0 and 15-2 poundings on Cal State in their earlier encounters...
