...more often than any other in history, invalidating among other statutes a law that banned guns in school zones, part of the Violence Against Women Act and part of the Brady gun-control law. Conservatives have cheered this as a virtual revolution--although O'Connor, in keeping with her trademark case-by-case approach, has departed from an absolutist position at times. She was on the side of the plaintiff in Tennessee v. Lane, a 2004 decision upholding part of the Americans with Disabilities Act and requiring courtrooms to be accessible to those with physical disabilities. And most famously...
...operatives from traditional parties in Britain and the U.S., and you hear frank admiration for the antipoverty campaigners allied to Geldof, Bono and Co. They are global, deeply media savvy and well connected. And they are audacious enough to dream up big schemes - like the plan to promote their trademark white wristband on a vast scale in the days before the G-8 by wrapping enormous white bands around the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Rome's Colosseum, St. Paul's Cathedral in London and the Trocadéro buildings in Paris.

...Well, Laura, can you believe this price?" asks Circosta of a caller from Sandusky, Ohio, as he displays a unicorn-shaped pendant and earring set, marked down from a "suggested retail" of $35 to $7.75. When callers sign off, Circosta salutes them with a toot from the program's trademark: a rubber-bulbed horn. It may be corny, but the recipe works. HSN's net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1986 hit $53.4 million, up from $4.9 million during the same period in the previous year...
