...humanity. They spoke of each other and their children with far more feeling than they have in the past. Again and again, the Queen stopped to shake hands with people in the crowds, and at one banquet she sat at a table with a jockey, an autoworker and a policewoman. Surely the happiness of the occasion created an expansive mood, but the royal couple's behavior was not entirely spontaneous. The anniversary was an opportunity to present themselves and their children sympathetically to the public, and to rebut charges made in the days immediately following the Princess's death that...
Schaper's case is not the only evidence that the Army has been less than aggressive in getting to the bottom of these problems. Last month in upstate New York, a 30-year-old former Army policewoman left her 31-year-old recruiter husband after seven years of marriage and a four-year-old son.

Or maybe "freshman" is just one of those words in the "who would want to be one anyway?" category--like "garbageman" and "hitman"--that even the most strident p.c. advocates are content to leave alone...
...their purchases, then to cluck sympathetically about her recent conviction on three counts of pandering and denounce her mandatory sentence of three years as a waste of taxpayer money. Fleiss has heard it all. But last week it was her turn to do a double take when a uniformed policewoman entered the shop to buy a sweatshirt. "Listen, I think it's terrible what they're doing to you," the cop said. "I just wanted to tell...
