...lawsuit, which demonstrates his devotion to achieving not just a symbolic victory, but the safety and security he has sought since the beginning. Furthermore, his name is likely to achieve immortality, joining William Marbury, Joseph Lochner, and Oliver Brown in the annals of American legal history. (The plaintiff in Roe v. Wade dodged notoriety by using a pseudonym...
...that will live in infamy,'' declared TV Evangelist Pat Robertson, referring to the Supreme Court's reaffirmation last week of Roe vs. Wade. Citing Thomas Jefferson, the Republican presidential aspirant called the high court an ''unelected oligarchy'' and assailed the Justices as ''despots.''

But four dissenters, including Chief Justice Warren Burger, sharply questioned the ever widening scope of Roe and subsequent decisions. If states cannot impose some limits...
...gather at the Dim Sake Bar - a name that reflects the venue's specialization in creative dim sum and Japanese rice wine. Patrons are greeted by 5,282 dim-sum baskets that line the wall, and can savor dishes such as grilled stingray fin with mayo and flying-fish-roe dip or xiao long bao shooters (a delicate soup dumpling sitting in a shot glass filled with warm chicken broth), as well as steamed fish worthy of a top Chinese restaurant. Those not in the mood for dim sum can seat themselves at a sushi counter...
