...Superior Court Judge Ronald Stephens rejected the plea: the case "is not going to jump ahead of the line and be handled any differently," he said, and Nifong said it could be next spring before it comes to trial. However well people understand the desire for a speedy trial in this case, what serves the interests of defendants does not necessarily serve the interests of justice. The state has an interest in finding out what really happened that night off campus. Abiding uncertainty does not make for a gripping TV show. But somehow in these very public cases that...
Sara Maghen, 17, leaves school one period early this semester, but she isn't spending the time chatting online with friends or napping at the beach. Instead the senior at private Milken Community High School in Los Angeles commutes across town to intern at Los Angeles Superior Court. While she decides which University of California campus she will attend next fall, Maghen sorts courthouse mail, registers payments of parking tickets and observes trials. She witnesses things that few people outside the legal profession will ever see--like a private-settlement conference between two attorneys and a judge...
...Donnell Field in two games by Princeton on Saturday, eliminating it from the best-of-three Ivy Championship Series and ending a campaign that seemed destined to culminate in another Ancient Eight title.

(Acting chief Christopher McGaffin later said the senior officer had shown "poor judgment" and was disciplined.) Strangest of all, Kennedy claimed, "I simply do not remember" the incident. He blamed the sleeping pill Ambien and the gastrointestinal...
...return to my original question: Do we dare denounce Opal Mehta? The answer must be yes. Not a resounding self-righteous yes, for we are not much superior to what we would condemn. Our denunciation must instead arise out of our own embarrassment; it must be in part a self-condemnation and a recognition that we are now not so much a community of intellectuals but accomplices to a literary and cultural travesty. Right now, Opal Mehta is the face of Harvard, and rightfully so. In rejecting that image, we promise to reinvent ourselves...
