Whenever Mitch Lansdell, manager of the Los Angeles suburb of Gardena, has an important phone call, he swivels his chair to face the northeastern corner of his office. He has permanently sealed one of his office doors and put all his books in the southeastern corner. It's not tidiness. It's the instructions of "intercultural consultant" Angi Ma Wong, a practitioner of feng shui, the Chinese tradition that says success is largely a matter of orienting your surroundings...
...wasn't a monogamous relationship either. At 22, Whitsett was arrested for soliciting sex from a 16-year-old; he got six months' probation. A few months later, as a psychology student at Nova Southeastern University, Whitsett gained entry to a treatment center for teen sex offenders, ostensibly to study whether pedophiles seek out children who are the same age as they were when they were first molested. The research was legitimate, but the liaison he formed with a 15-year-old patient was not. The nude Polaroids, and the sex, landed Whitsett an eight-year prison term...
...finding that the President lied, the committee agreed with the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a group of conservative activists in Atlanta who filed the original complaint, and with Judge Susan Webber Wright, the federal judge who presided over (and dismissed) Paula Jones' lawsuit against Clinton.

It could wait, however, until he leaves office." Of course the right-wing Southeastern Legal Foundation knew exactly what it would get by initiating disbarment. The lawyer who'd strayed so publicly from the moral path would be further embarrassed, and the media would take a nice walk down memory lane past such impeachment signposts as "intentionally false and misleading," (Judge Susan Webber Wright) "technically accurate...
...Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a state may not create an "undue burden" for any woman making "the decision to terminate her pregnancy before viability." In striking down the Nebraska statute law last year, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, in St. Louis, ruled that the statute's language was broad enough to encompass the D&E procedure, imposing an "undue burden" on the woman seeking an abortion. Most of the lower federal courts that have addressed partial-birth abortion bans have ruled based on the "undue burden...
