James H. Hatfield has probably heard the adage, "Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." He aimed at G.O.P. presidential front runner GEORGE W. BUSH, but got his own facade shattered. In a new book, Fortunate Son, Hatfield claims Bush was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 but his father, former President George Bush, orchestrated a cover-up. The Bushes adamantly denied the accusation. Hatfield, it now seems, was doing some covering up of his own. St. Martin's Press recalled the book when a newspaper report revealed that the author is on parole after being convicted...

...Lynn Buss is preparing for the Monday flood. Her "clinic" is tucked away on the first floor of the pre-1935 extension that she calls "the North Forty" because of its remoteness. The first wave consists of girls who march straight into one of three exam rooms, where they throw down their bookbags, turn out the lights and flop onto cots, asleep before they hit the pillow. Nurse Buss is unfazed. "These kids who get bused in from the city get up before 5," she explains. "They come here to sleep for half an hour before class...

...threw a party, the police showed up twice, and there's concern they will show up today if guests drink out in the open. Even worse, under an ordinance passed last year, parents can be held responsible for their kids' hospitality. As part of a crackdown, adults whose children throw unsupervised parties are issued a warning letter by police. A second offense can mean a summons and a fine...
