...plastered across the headlines. It is certainly a noble goal to protect the victims of sexual assault from mistreatment in the courtroom, but why should Marv's past conduct have been subject to the closest scrutiny, while Perhach's character history have remained off-limits? Perhach is not a minor, and she admits that the alleged assault occurred in the context of a consentual encounter.

The use of the inclusive, non gender-specific pronoun in the song which is sung at almost every major...
...omission, and the book is still scheduled to come out in November. ABC News president David Westin says he still "hopes and expects" to air the documentary later this year but won't make a final decision until it is completed. Hersh says he considers the excision only a minor blow to his wide-ranging examination of Kennedy's public and private life, and claims he felt "tremendous relief" at no longer having to deal with "those crazy papers that didn...
