...nothing if not anti-feminist, because its very mission is based on restricting others’ decisions. Wagley assured RUS members that the club does not advocate legal restrictions on sexual behavior.

(The army contends that there have been no serious disturbances to the animals since it boosted its training program.) And by 2011, the army says, it will...
...Libya will cooperate with any further inquiries. In 2003, the country formally accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing, paying $2.7 billion in compensation to the relatives of those who died. Since then, however, Libyan officials have denied culpability and suggested that the payout was made as part of its recent efforts to normalize relations with the West. The Daily Telegraph reported Monday that British detectives had made at least three trips to Libya to interview witnesses and potential suspects but that they had recently been blocked from returning to conclude their investigation.
