...Abortion" (Opinion, Oct. 30), Daniel H. Choi waxes righteously indignant about the fact that, unless they go out of their way to opt out, students are helping to fund abortions.

...large insurance companies furious with Pallone for heading the charge for managed-care reform--unveiled an anti-Pallone "issue ad": the TV spot blasts Pallone's positions without explicitly advocating his defeat. Among other things, it accuses him of voting to raid the Social Security trust fund to pay for welfare. "Call Congressman Pallone," the announcer says, over a video of disreputable card sharks, "and tell him to...stop gambling with our futures." Pallone says the ad is false, but now he'll have to defend himself until Election Day. Americans for Job Security plans to spend $2 million...
