Kansas, the first state to go dry (in 1881), the state that made Carry Nation's saloon-shattering hatchet famous, last week became the 48th to go wet. Utah and West Virginia still limit the sale of alcohol to private clubs. But in 36 out of 105 Kansas counties, it is now party time.

Meanwhile, fewer than 1% of the 1.5 million abortions performed in the U.S. each year occur after...
...more than ever, Sullivan's original view that U.S. firms were justified in remaining requires his full commitment to break up the evil apartheid system. Indignation at apartheid is respected, justified and necessary, but putting a two-year time limit on courses of action was unrealistic. Please reverse your decision, Reverend Sullivan; we still need your support...
