...staff is mistaken in its support of the UHS abortion refund policy. While we respect the various religious and moral objections to abortion, the fact remains that safe and accessible abortion is the legal right of every woman in this country. UHS's refund policy starts on the slippery slope toward restricting that fundamental right and more importantly makes a philosophical statement that personal opposition to certain medical procedures takes precedence over the public health concerns of the Harvard community...
Were the man and I both mistaken to assume she wanted help? Would she rather we didn't offer? I do not regularly see sight-impaired people walking without a friend or seeing-eye dog, so have never tried to help.

The fashion business, for all its outward absurdity, isn't cheeky and good-humored at its core, and that is perhaps why Isaac Mizrahi made such an impression...
TIME's report on the Followers of Christ case left readers with the mistaken impression that the Oregonian newspaper broke this story. In fact, the first series of reports on the case aired on KATU-TV in Portland two full days in advance of the first Oregonian story. State medical examiner Larry Lewman told KATU first of his allegations in the case, and our initial reports detailed the estimates of the number of children who could have been saved with simple medical intervention. GARY WALKER, News Director KATU-TV Portland...
