...have ever seen," says Diana Philip, director of the A.C.L.U. of Texas for the northern region, which has filed several suits against schools. "A lot of them are in clear violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guarantees freedom from unreasonable searches." Before police can legally search someone, they generally must have "probable cause" to believe the person has committed a crime. But courts have recently given schools wide leeway in searching lockers, cars and backpacks and administering drug tests even on a random basis. Permian High administrators, for example, periodically seal off hallways, order students to drop what they...
...position abolished by Boris after a failed coup attempt by said veep. "We could well be looking at Yeltsin's nightmare ticket for the coming presidential elections: Primakov for president and Luzhkov as prime minister," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge. "Even in his mental fog, Yeltsin must see that the program is an implicit rejection of everything that he has presided over."

"This ruling unconstitutionally infringes on the rights of the Boy Scouts of America," says Davidson. "It's sad when the state dictates to parents what role models they must provide their children...
...battleground over gay rights is more likely to move to Vermont. The supreme court there must soon decide if the state's constitution allows gay marriage. A referendum in Hawaii rejected it last year, but in liberal Vermont, the state's justices are more likely to declare in favor. Vermont would then be the first jurisdiction anywhere in the world to allow fully equal marriage rights to homosexual couples. To reverse it, opponents need to go through a two-year process to change the state's charter. During that time, hundreds or perhaps thousands of gay couples could...
