...TRADE 40% Tariff on U.S. beef that South Korea will phase out over the next 15 years, part of a landmark free-trade agreement reached April 2 between Washington and Seoul that will eliminate tariffs on most types of goods traded between the two countries 400% Premium above global market prices that South Koreans will continue to pay for rice, due to tariffs and subsidies protecting Korean rice farmers that Seoul refused to eliminate as part of the trade deal
...University Law Review. They apparently move from right to left, left to right and sometimes back again. And it's not just a Hugo Black, who dismayed liberals by rejecting a right to sexual privacy between married couples, or a Harry Blackmun, the conservative who came to write the landmark abortion case Roe v.

When the Supreme Court struck down Texas's law against sodomy in the summer of 2003, in the landmark gay rights case of Lawrence v. Texas, critics warned that its sweeping support of a powerful doctrine of privacy could lead to challenges of state laws that forbade such things as gay marriage and bigamy.

A grand endeavor indeed, but Faena has already shown that he can create something special where others might see folly...
Unfortunately, New Orleans today remains far from that ideal. Robert Bea, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and former oil-industry engineer, co-authored a landmark report for the National Science Foundation that analyzed why the Federal Government did such a poor job of protecting Louisiana before and after the storm. Most of the problems he identified persist, he says. And that is not Louisiana's problem alone, Bea emphasizes. The Army Corps of Engineers recently announced that 122 major levee systems are less than safe; those levees will face greater stresses with global warming. Extra-strong hurricanes...
