Last Thursday's verdict represents a sweeping acknowledgement of the Coal Run community's suffering. "This case is a throwback to the type of discrimination everyone thinks is long gone," says John P. Relman, a Washington civil rights attorney who represented the Coal Run residents. Relman calls the case a "landmark" because of the number of individual plaintiffs found to have suffered discrimination at the hands of their own government.

Upgrading to a seismic stress meter, however, is still a long way off. "To use this for earthquake prediction, you need to know the precursor waves have a physical basis [that is, increased pressure...

The unorthodoxy of the representation of the Triune deity (Ellen DeGeneres also imagined the Almighty as a black woman in a routine) has delighted some Christians and upset others. William P. Young, the 53-year-old father of six who wrote the book in 2005 as a way of explaining his faith to his kids, takes some swipes at the church and turns the weep meter to 11. Largely on word of mouth, the novel has been a New York Times...
