Harvard's starters were taller than their Blue Devil counterparts at every position. Thus logic dictated that the Crimson pound the ball inside to create easy shots. In particular, the Crimson should go to its most talented inside player, freshman Hana Peljto...
Third, the logic of protecting sexual orientation from discrimination is flawed because it heavily favors homosexual behavior. Under Tufts University's non-discrimination policy, TCF could have successfully barred Catalano from office for admitting that she had sex with a married man (adultery) or that she had sex with a single man (fornication), if Catalano were to state that she thought such practices were not morally wrong (since those practices are also against Christian beliefs). Only having sex with a woman would have been a protected practice...

But that's just what the Gore team hopes the Florida high court will do, and in briefs presented Wednesday, David Boies et al. have outlined their logic: Because Judge Sauls based his ruling on cases from 1974 and 1982 - precedents that were overwritten by another case less than a year ago, in a decision easing the prerequisites for a recount - his decision should be rejected...
Palestinian prosperity promotes peace; Palestinian poverty nurtures war. That logic was one of the foundations of the Oslo peace process, which is why one of its key authors on Tuesday raised the alarm over the state of the Palestinian economy after more than two months of the new intifada. And the World Bank, which seldom acts without a nod from the U.S., on Wednesday made an unprecedented donation of $12 million to the beleaguered Palestinian Authority for immediate job-creation programs...

Catalano based her case on the idea that because she is bisexual, she should not be forced to consider that part of her identity immoral--that she should not be expected to give up her "self-acceptance of identity." By that logic, heterosexuals who disagreed with TCF's policy would be out of luck, since their opposition has nothing to do with their own identity...
