...songs. It also inspired University of North Carolina researchers to design a five-year, $18 million survey of 24,000 youngsters in grades 7 through 11 to determine teen attitudes toward sex in the '90s. The study, ranging from the tame (hand holding) to the torrid (sodomy and oral sex), won funding from the National Institutes of Health in May. But last week Secretary of Health Louis Sullivan abruptly canceled the study because he feared it would contradict his stand against casual...
Education Department officials say they have never envisioned a single national test, but rather a varied package. According to Dr. Lauren Resnick of the University of Pittsburgh, who has done seminal work in this area, these might include oral projects, portfolios in which students display a body of work completed over time, open-ended questions to explore student thinking, writing samples and perhaps some multiple choice.

Yet last week Souter concurred in a majority opinion based on that very reasoning. Since the ruling did not directly address the question of a woman's right...
...should young Nicholas' anguish have a direct bearing on Payne's punishment? Will a Supreme Court decision upholding Payne's sentence create a climate where the wails of a murder victim's relatives will ordain vengeance in the form of capital punishment? During the oral argument, Chief Justice William Rehnquist probably reflected his own views when he asked Payne's attorney, "Are you suggesting that the jury's feeling of sympathy or perhaps outrage at the crime and what it's left the victim with is not a permissible factor...
