...possible Red Sox championship scenario would occur should the Tigers lost today, and then proceed to win one of three from the Brewers, while the Red Sox sweep the Cleveland series. That would leave the Sox and the Brewers tied at 30-22 for the second half, with Detroit...
Finally, both the hospital where the doctors work and the university where they teach must take action to make sure that these abuses will not occur in the future. President Bok, to his credit, has taken the initiative and asked the Medical School faculty to draw up guidelines to prevent similar incidents from happening again. In a profession long known for arrogant confidence in its own omniscience, guidelines regarding recommendations are all the more important--to set rules to clarify the doctors' apparently murky and subjective standards. Only with the establishment of such regulations will the hospital and the University...
Jury trials are actually not as common as is generally believed. Of all the criminal jury trials in the world, some 80% occur in the U.S. Yet more than 90% of all cases in the U.S. never come before a jury. Most litigants plea bargain, settle out of court or opt for trial before only a judge. Still, some 300,000 cases a year do come before a jury...
...Gomorrah and three other "Cities of the Plain" along the Dead Sea. In 1976 Pettinato startled a convention of U.S. professors of religion by reporting that references to all five of those cities crop up at Ebla. More recently, he has modified his claim: three of the five names occur- Sodom, Gomorrah and Zoar - and he explains that these might not be the same as the cities mentioned in Genesis.

...Pettinato book he offers extensive technical examples from specific Bible texts. Dahood reckons that nearly a third of the poetic passages in the Old Testament still "evade precise translation and gram matical analysis." The major reason: 1,700 of the 8,000 Hebrew words in the Bible occur only once. Dahood reported last month that 70 of those perplexing words have already been found at Ebla. Thus, he says, "not a single one of the Old Testaments in English is up to date." For accuracy, he thinks future translators and historians must rely far more on Ebla and Ugarit...
