...TIME/CNN poll said they regard Social Security primarily as a benefit program designed to assure the elderly a minimum income during retirement. And that does not take into account that a third of Social Security beneficiaries are not retirees but widows and widowers, children who have lost a parent, and the disabled...
...movie about the 1960s TV show is a lot more extravagant than its parent. The technology upgrade is to be expected in the post-Star Wars world, and though it's fascinating, it's not enough to save the movie. The dialogue is terrible, and it's a shame because no one gave a particularly bad performance, though Matt LeBlanc did have more than his share of horrible lines.

Shannan Wilber, attorney at the Youth Law Center in San Francisco, says that unlike parent-responsibility laws, CAP laws draw a direct causal relationship between adults and the crimes committed by juveniles. "Where there is a closer connection," she says, "such as a parent's possession of firearms and failure to keep them away from their kids, it's easier to connect that to a subsequent criminal...
