...abortion-rights advocates embraced the company?s decision as a significant step in expanding quick, convenient access. ?We?re thrilled-we think this is a great first step for Wal-Mart,? says Dianne Luby of Planned Parenthood of Massachusetts, which had filed suit against the company to force it to comply with the state law. She says the move is particularly important for women in rural areas, where Wal-Mart is often the only pharmacy in town. Because Plan B is effective only within the first 72 hours after unprotected sex and is most effective in the first 24 hours...
...from a face-to-face encounter with his female lawyer out of respect for his sensitivities as a religious Muslim - and eventually managed to arrange their first conversation. In a room barely large enough for three chairs and a small table, Al-Qahtani appeared in an orange jump-suit, his legs shackled.

Many observers - especially unions - expected similar tough love in early February, when Ghosn unveiled his ambitious four-year business plan for Renault, which...
...favored veterans over high-scoring youth such as Crosby and Eric Staal. Prototype NHL power forward Todd Bertuzzi, who'd hoped to redeem himself at this tournament for breaking the neck of Colorado forward Steve Moore in 2004, hardly seemed a factor. Moore filed a multi-million dollar civil suit against Bertuzzi at the onset of the tournament. And Quinn lacked faith in the younger players he did carry, notably remarking how Columbus forward Rick Nash seemed "in awe" of the situation. "Nobody could make me feel worse than I feel right now," Quinn said, referring to the anticipated criticism...
