But the New Jersey court has a reputation for issuing cutting-edge rulings in employment law. (The state's liberal decisions on sexual-harassment law foreshadowed a national push to broaden the scope of such law.) Eighteen other states have similar antidiscrimination statutes, with no minimum age.

Japan and South Korea continued an unprecedented joint naval exercise Wednesday, in response to North Korea?s increasingly belligerent missile-testing program. But acting crazy is an important part of the reclusive communist state?s effort to secure aid from Washington and its allies.
