In Massachusetts, which requires teens to obtain the permission of both parents or of a judge, about 75% of the girls who have abortions share the decision with their parents. Levels of parental involvement are equally high in neighboring Connecticut and New Hampshire, where such consent is not required. "I see no point whatsoever in the parent- involvement laws...

But the department's National Obscenity Enforcement Unit has tended to focus on nationwide wholesalers of the hard-core stuff...
Udall sold his house in a Washington suburb and moved to Phoenix, where for eleven impecunious years he fought unsuccessfully in the courts to obtain redress. Judges consistently held that the Government could not be held liable, even though it knew of the danger from radiation and kept the victims in the dark. More than 1,000 stricken miners "were sacrificed for cold war nuclear weapons," says Utah Democratic Congressman Wayne Owens...
