Whenever these grisly abandonments occur, right-to-life proponents argue that we've arrived at the bottom of the slippery slope they've been warning us about since Roe v. Wade in 1973. As usual, Newt Gingrich goes too far when he talks about a culture of Dumpster babies, but why couldn't Melissa have wrapped the baby in a cloth and left him, as panicked girls used to do, someplace safe like the church steps, or turn to the Yellow Pages, filled with "pregnancy counseling" and "abortion alternatives...
...stood deadlocked among four players, all at a modest four under par. Three of them gave. Colin Montgomerie missed a five-footer at seventeen to drop to three under, then failed to birdie the par three 18th. Tom Lehman's approach shot to the 17th green bounced on the slope and rolled into the water, and Jeff Maggert simply disintegrated, three- and four-putting greens until he finished a distant fourth at one over par.

...guest list over the years has been a veritable Who's Who of the radical right. Tim McVeigh called Elohim two weeks before the Oklahoma bombing. Some reports link him to former Elohim resident Andreas Strassmeir, a mysterious German weapons buff with neo-Nazi ties. And up a wooded slope in the settlement, marked by a simple white cross, is the grave of Richard Wayne Snell, a fanatic who allegedly conspired to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building 12 years earlier. He was executed the night of April 19, 1995, about 12 hours after the explosion. Kevin McCarthy...
