...adoption is of a non-white ethnicity, its chances of being adopted are much slimmer). In fact, I know of many "pro-choice" advocates who themselves are personally against abortion. Yet, they realize that not all women hold the same opinion and they understand that to outlaw abortion would destroy that individual choice from all women. That is why we call ourselves Pro-Choice.

...despite being branded an international outlaw and threatened with an economic backlash, Norway insists that the whaling will go on. Its resolve is strengthened by the confidence that other countries may follow: Iceland, which quit the IWC last year over the same issue, says it will resume whaling next summer, ban or no. Japan will abide by the rules for now, but has lobbied the IWC to allow limited whaling. All three nations argue that the current policy is governed by emotion, not rational science. They contend that a careful harvest of relatively plentiful species like the minke is harmless...
...Peter Schjeldahl points out in the catalog, Dubuffet "had the transgressor's secret love of limits, the outlaw's perverse attachment to laws," and this repeatedly shows itself in a sense of surface, texture and inflection that becomes extravagantly, almost morbidly, refined. His figures made of butterfly wings are exquisite; looking at some of his surfaces, particularly in the later collages and "Texturologies" of the 1950s, one finds oneself comparing them to the tarnished and mottled silver leaf on a Japanese screen or to richly tanned and patinated leather.

As the country's first democratic balloting in three decades begins this week, the party threatening to wreck the election is none other than the Khmer Rouge. Hope that the vote might usher in peace, along with...
Stranger was an evocation of the outlaw tradition, a challenge to the sappy sentiment and popular mechanics of conventional country music. Across the Borderline breaks similar ground, only the raw material it uses is not myth. Nelson's version of the title track is a characteristic redrafting: a song about illegal refugees widens into a memorable evocation of rootlessness, helplessness and drift. Written by Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and James Dickinson for a film sound track, Across the Borderline has become a contemporary classic, sung by, among others, Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. But no one has caught so well...
