When the California Supreme Court handed down a ruling in 2003 that codified the withdrawal of consent during sex, Justice Janice Rogers Brown, the lone dissenter, raised that very question. "The majority relies heavily on [the defendant's] failure to desist immediately," she wrote in her minority opinion. "But it does not tell us how soon would have been soon enough. Ten seconds? Thirty? A minute?" Mel Feit, executive director of the National Center for Men, a male-advocacy group based in Old Bethpage, N.Y., says biology is a factor.

After recording only two conference victories a year ago, wins will be hard to come by for the Lions once again in 2007.

The fleeing and fighting is intermittently interesting, but one is more interested, frankly, in why Anjelica Huston suddenly intrudes on the film, selling patent medicine and vague spirituality. Also in why the near-moribund...
DIED. Ryszard Kapuscinski, 74, stylish Polish writer whose textured, empathic coverage of Africa brought him global acclaim; of unknown causes; in Warsaw. As the lone Africa correspondent for the Polish Press Agency in the 1950s and '60s, he witnessed widespread unrest as nations began to break free from colonial rule. Among his best known books was The Emperor, which chronicled the last days of Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie. "I wish I could convey what Africa was like," he said.
