...beginning, [university response] was very poor," Jerome said. "They were treating [the first rape] as an isolated incident and found no reason to alert the community...
...were released Monday, each casting their own optimistic light on the citizenry and what one analyst called "the contagion of lawfulness." The first figures, from the FBI, show that serious crime plunged 10 percent in the first half of 1999, the largest drop in the 1990s. Those rates include rape, murder, aggravated assault and burglaries. And as if that's not enough to put a smile on Bill Bennett's face, new numbers from the private antidrug group Partnership for a Drug Free America show that drug use among teens aged 13 to 18 declined or leveled off from...
Such unions are awkward, certainly, but most survive through the messy art of compromise. The first line of negotiation is the local bishop, who has the power to interpret the directives. For example, bishops disagree about whether Ovral, an emergency contraceptive drug for rape victims, induces abortion.

It was repulsive, unconscionable - and the predictable pastime of perverted criminals. It was the kind of depraved act that happens with even more regularity against young females, and, indeed, if the victim had been a 13-year-old girl, the story would probably never have gotten beyond Benton County, much less Arkansas. (There is, of course, a double standard there.) Matthew Shepard died not because...
