...million to Margaret Housen for contracting gonorrhea. They have opened a veritable Pandora's box of litigation. Using their scale, contracting syphilis could bring a lucky person $750,000. Thanks to their precedent, purchasing no-fault sex insurance will become mandatory at puberty. Pity the uninsured who must resort to medical treatment rather than cashing in at the courthouse...
...town of Sofar, 45 minutes' driving time from Beirut in the cool Lebanon mountains, has long been a favorite summer resort, both for wealthy Lebanese and Arabs from neighboring lands. It was there last week that the advancing Syrians met their first real resistance. On Tuesday, reports Wynn, the town was battle-scarred. Along the Beirut-Damascus highway, corrugated shutters of shop after shop were curled up from the shelling.

Each student lived with a Japanese family to fulfill the school's philosophy of viewing the culture from the inside (watching from within the rice paper porch...
...Last Resort. That probably is an undeserved rap. What happened is that last fall Ford urged Levi and HEW Secretary David Mathews to explore alternatives. Under one idea that evolved, the Administration would press for legislation to: 1) mandate courts to order busing only as a last resort (they are now urged but not compelled to resort to busing only after alternatives have been tried); 2) provide federal funds to improve schools and encourage voluntary integration; and 3) set up a national council to mediate local disputes before they reach court judgment. Meanwhile, Solicitor General Robert Bork prepared an amicus...
