Crawford's move was unusual in contradicting the advice of scientists at his own agency. In a 12-page internal memo obtained by TIME, Dr. Steven Galson, acting director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, urged that Barr Laboratories, which makes the drug, be allowed to sell the pill over the counter, albeit with age restrictions. In the memo, written on Aug. 26, Galson argued that Plan B had been proved "safe and effective without the supervision of a practitioner licensed by law for women ages 17 and older." Subordinates had argued for an even less...
...court upheld; on terrorism detainees, who were granted the right to challenge their designation as "enemy combatants"; and even on one of his beloved federalism cases, in which the court said states can be sued under federal law for not making courthouses accessible to the disabled-that a front-page headline in the New York Times called 2004 the year Rehnquist may have lost his court.

...very first page of Shalimar the Clown, Salman Rushdie's new novel, the reader has a horrible presentiment that a literary disaster is in the making. Rushdie is trying to describe a woman speaking in her sleep: she is "like Sigourney Weaver channeling a demon in Ghostbusters." This is the kind of bathos?the desperation to prove his hipness by making asinine references to pop culture?that helped sink Rushdie's last novel, Fury, generally acknowledged to be the worst he has written. After a first-page blunder like this, it requires a leap of faith simply to turn...
...know individuals' interests, mostly through their search history--the clickstream. Findory, a Seattle-based news-search site launched in January 2004, provides access to news stories and blogs. As you start searching for certain types of stories, the site gradually learns about your preferences, and the home page evolves to mirror your interests. Google includes a similar feature in its most recent desktop search tool, called Sidebar, which was released last week. The technology makes some consumers uneasy: How much do you want your computer to know about...
