Although we sympathize with parents of autistic children, we appreciate the court’s decision and hope that it will cause parents who are considering not immunizing their children to think twice.

The original connection between the vaccine and autism was raised in a paper published in the British journal, The Lancet. After it was discovered, however, that the main...

...state that once drew people from all over the world to create Silicon Valley, Hollywood and Berkeley's free-speech movement now sees too many of its best residents leave. To stop that, Newsom hopes to borrow a page from Barack Obama's presidential campaign. On the floor of the Democratic National Convention last summer, Newsom told TIME that he hoped to run in 2010 - but first he wanted to see if voters would embrace Obama's campaign focus on youth and generational change.
