...offer a three-year program as well, is not the first to let some students fast-track their legal education. The University of Dayton School of Law and Southwestern Law School, in Los Angeles, already have two-year express tracks. But as the first top-tier law school - ranked ninth in the country by U.S. News & World Report - to offer the program, Northwestern could be especially influential in getting other schools to embrace the idea...

Karma certainly hung over the Braves like crepe in the pivotal fifth game, when they rallied from a three-run deficit in the bottom of the ninth, had a man on third base with one out and the profligate Williams on the mound -- and couldn't force home the winning run.

...There will no doubt be more such headlines in the coming days. The sport is built upon the emotion of watching someone do what Riccò did on Sunday. Two-thirds of the way through the torturous ninth stage, the rail-thin blond, who had emerged with a second-place finish in last month's Giro d'Italia, burst from the pack on the category-one Col d'Aspin ascent, blowing past opponents in a stunning display of power...

...eagerly embraces the archaic idea that the only proper way to "take responsibility for the consequences" of heterosexual sex is to carry an unplanned pregnancy to term. In the life of a pregnant high school girl, "taking responsibility" may mean walking through the school hallways heavy into her ninth month, case-managing her abortion or giving up a child for adoption without ever seeing him.
