...insist that sicknesses be treated with prayer alone is stubborn willfulness; to impose such conditions on children should be considered criminal. But Pennsylvania, where the Nixon children died, and 45 other states have religious exemptions in their child-abuse and -neglect laws, denying the 14th Amendment right, equal protection under the law, to children of members of the Faith Tabernacle, the Christian Science Church and various other sects. When child-protection groups have petitioned legislatures to remove these exemptions, the legislators have bowed to church lobbying and refused. If parents of children dead for lack of medical care have "suffered...
...Jackie-Robinson-integrate-baseball feel to it. While there were some men like Rickey, the ruling brass of baseball did not look to kindly on having a black player in the majors.

Pulling ahead for good on freshman Lawson DeVries' goal, the men's lacrosse team (4-2, 2-0 Ivy) shook off stubborn Cornell (2-6, 1-2) in the third quarter of Harvard's 18-16 win Saturday at Ithaca.

"It's rare that you have the right combination of ego, money and enough at stake so that neither side is willing to compromise," says San Francisco trademark expert Melville Owen. "I don't think we'll see this kind of case again for 10 or 20 years...
...FRANCISCO: A federal jury put aside the wrath of grape magnate Jess Jackson, denying winery Kendall-Jackson's claim that industry giant E&J Gallo deliberately copied its bottle. The suit matched two of California's most stubborn and litigious vintners, Jackson and Ernest Gallo, over whether Gallo's Turning Leaf Chardonnay was designed to cleverly imitate the look (and sales success) of Kendall Jackson's top-selling Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay. Indeed, with its flanged top, visible cork and yellowing grape leaf, Gallo's bottle looks remarkably similar. It's been similar in the stores, as well: in just...
