...battle over Elian Gonzalez keeps stretching the boundaries of legal precedent. Thursday, a federal judge in Miami heard oral arguments in a case brought by Elian's great-uncle against the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Lazaro Gonzalez claims his six-year-old nephew is capable of applying for asylum in his own right - that neither Elian's father nor the INS has the right to send the boy back to Cuba. Elian was rescued from an inner tube in November after his mother drowned at sea in an ill-fated attempt to reach Miami, and his father, who remained...
...since Busch had to find a logical scapegoat for Rolland's murder without the benefit of a Child Access Prevention law, he took the old-fashioned route. Thursday, Busch brought charges of involuntary manslaughter against 19-year-old Jamelle James, who lived in the same house as the young killer. Although Michigan recently adopted some of the nation's harshest juvenile penalties, a six-year-old is universally considered too young to understand the consequences of his behavior. Busch alleges that by making the gun available to the boy, James was "grossly negligent" and contributed to the delinquency...
...finding that experience--during the summers or through community service during term-time--is probably up to you. Internalize Harvard's value system and you'll find yourself in 30 years standing alone at cocktail parties, talking about your bonus, your six-year-old's batting average and your wine cellar. Occasionally, among Ivy-League crowds, you'll say "Habermas" and mean it--you won't be sneezing. It's a sad, bleak existence, filled with sun-dried tomatoes and pretending to like jazz. But it doesn't have to be that...
...protector of Weed's sheep is a six-year-old llama named Cyrus, an animal best known for its thick, shaggy coat and its agility on narrow alpine trails. Here on the flatland expanse at the base of the snow-capped Bridger Mountains, the brown and white beast walks guard duty amid a sea of much smaller brown and white woolly bodies. Deceptively spry despite his goofy appearance, the llama struts and shuffles among the flock, craning his head from one side of the field to another while occasionally stopping to munch on grass clumps in the crusty, frozen earth...
...more and more televised sport is pumped into our homes, how will our children be affected? I need only extrapolate from my own experience. Several weeks ago, during her final soccer game of the season, my six-year-old daughter, while chatting with a friend and seemingly oblivious to the game, inadvertently allowed a ball to ricochet off her hip into her own goal. She responded with a vicious throat-slashing gesture directed at her teammates. She later spit at me, apparently mistaking me for an autograph-seeking fan. And that night at a local restaurant, she confessed to intentionally...
