...states may soon endfederally-funded abortionsfor poor women. By a mostly party-line vote of 29-23, the House Appropriations Committee today approved a measure that would let states refuse to use federal Medicaid money for abortions for women who have been raped or are the victims of incest. States would have to continue using the money for abortions for women whose lives are in danger.

Horatio in the first act tries to discourage Hamlet from pursuing his father's ghost: "What if it tempt you toward the flood?" But full into the flood Hamlet eagerly plunges-and we in the audience with him. It is one of the play's many paradoxes that the character we rely upon to guide us on so long and stormy a journey is himself so feckless and equivocal. Although "most royal" and a "noble heart," Hamlet unwittingly destroys almost everyone dear to him-even while...
