...Isn't the work at least as much a part of the great artist--that genius which is peculiar to and defines him--as the child is of the surrogate mother? I would argue that it is even more so. The moral strength of "motherhood" doesn't derive from the mere carrying of the child. The mechanical rigors of childbirth are common to all women. The spirit and personality of the parent are not imparted so much in the biological production of the child as in the nurturing and rearing...
That view sits badly with those like Roberts Owen, a predecessor of Sofaer, who argue that the "job isn't just another legal hired gun." The post is unique in that the legal adviser's opinions are often what lawyers call "non- justiciable" -- not subject to appeal. In this job more than any other legal post in America, says Professor Richard Gardner of Columbia Law School, "Sofaer's judgments should be sub specie aeternitas" (for eternity...
That graciousness was not lost on Tammy Letherer, 20, a junior from Indiana University. "You can't believe how friendly the people are," she said. "It isn't crazy like Lauderdale." The hospitable atmosphere has also kept the students from getting too far out of hand. "Lauderdale is packed and wild," observed Chris Deckel, 19, a University of Notre Dame sophomore.

Despite some straining this season, the writers have managed to deepen and develop their relationship without losing the comic fizz. And no other series takes more chances. The actors frequently step out of character for asides to the camera, and the show...
What is jammed up nostrils, supposedly provides a jolt, and isn't cocaine? Presenting Ener-B, an intranasal gel loaded with vitamin B12 and sold in health stores for $12 a twelve-dose box. Like '60s celebrities who swore by B12 shots, enthusiasts claim the new nose job supplies a burst of energy. Absurd, say experts, and the FDA is investigating. Most people have a five- year B12 supply stored in their livers; excess simply gets excreted. "If you buy this gel," sniffs Dr. Victor Herbert of Manhattan's Mount Sinai Medical Center, "you're going to have the most...
