...states have quirky liquor laws of their own. In Pennsylvania and Idaho, for example, spirits can only be sold in stores controlled by "Alcoholic Beverage Control" agencies, colloquially known as ABC stores or Aunt Betty's Cupboard. In New York, liquor stores cannot be jointly owned, and the sole proprietor is required to live within a certain distance of his or her establishment - a stipulation that effectively bans chains. In Kansas, a state that outlawed alcohol sales until 1948 - a full 15 years after Congress repealed Prohibition - 29 counties still don't allow the sale of individual glasses of liquor...

Indeed, Obama could tell the Pentagon that, as a general matter, it is not in the best interest of the armed forces to expel a service member solely...
...FAST As the sole breadwinner for his wife and three kids, Ward knew that he had to get a new job quickly. He found himself unemployed at 5 in the afternoon; by 8 that night, he'd called four people he knew in Ohio who did the same sort of computer work he did, as well as his college buddy Lyell, down in North Carolina.
