Prof. Dershowitz's statement, "We don't have to follow the courts," tends to reinforce the notion that private educational institutions are not subject to Constitutional restraints...
What triggers postpolio syndrome? One possibility is that the polio virus becomes active again after decades of lying dormant in victims' cells. This notion gained support in 1991, when British scientists reported that 58% of the postpolio patients they tested had high concentrations of polio-type antibodies not only in their blood, which is to be expected, but also in their spinal fluid, which suggests a current infection. That does not explain, however, why the disease resurfaces so long after the original infection, and attempts to replicate the British findings have been unsuccessful. Since it's possible that the dormant...

He risked death when he stood up for them in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and then spent 43 months in prison for his leadership role in the pro-democracy movement. Undaunted and unrepentant, the student activist was released last year. Two weeks ago, the police were back: they picked him up, questioned him for 24 hours and told him to get out of Beijing. Wang ignored them, and last week he was hauled in again. Police warned him that his political activities were antisocialist and illegal...
