...shootings as a social phenomenon. And yet they are occurring too often to be dismissed as aberrations. Factors ranging from gun laws to a violent popular culture to the breakdown of community values have combined to turn the playground massacre into a symbol of a deep cultural crisis in late-20th-century America. The First Lady a few years ago used the aphorism "It takes a village to raise a child" as the title for a book. But America has yet to make that particular African proverb...
...missing in prison: nutritious food, exercise, sanitary conditions, prenatal care. Pregnant women are sometimes shackled with waist chains that can injure the fetus and ankle chains that increase the likelihood of falling. A 1985 California Department of Health study found that one-third of all prison pregnancies end in late term miscarriage, more than twice the outside rate. Only 20 percent of prison pregnancies end with live births. The New York Times recently described a woman forced to give birth shackled to her bed with her hands cuffed together and who was unable to reach the call button to summon...

The interface is intuitive and easy to learn, and the templates will simplify a daunting organizational task. In late March, Broderbund launched an impressive website genealogy.com that further broadens its offerings...
...sensible wife, pretty child, starter home in Metroland, the generic name for London's middle-class suburbia. Chris (Christian Bale) also has something he doesn't need: his best friend from the swinging '60s, a wandering poet named Toni (Lee Ross), who lurches back into his life in the late '70s to taunt and tempt him. The taunts are about the road not taken--abandoned career in photography, abandoned girlfriend (sweet, sexy Elsa Zylberstein) from his years in Paris. The temptation is to return to youthful irresponsibility...
