When biomedical researcher Keren Bismuth returned to France last year after completing the research for her doctorate at the U.S. government's prestigious National Institutes of Health in Maryland, one of the inconveniences she found was being put onto a series of three-month contracts rather than a permanent one. Finding work in London, Dublin, Montreal and other foreign cities, by contrast, seems much easier.

Nine states are part of the group, with Maryland set to join in June. In February five Western states embraced a similarly ambitious goal...
...Obviously, not everyone is convinced that the apology is necessary. Maryland Delegate Patrick L. McDonough said he voted against the resolution not only because his ancestors were in Ireland during the time of U.S. slavery, but also because he feels such a stance amounts to meaningless symbolism. "I don't think apologies solve anything," the Baltimore Sun reported McDonough saying. "They're just feel-good superficial measures...
