...this moment of peril, radical Federalists wanted to break America up. Morris called for New England and New York to secede. He admitted this would cause "civil war. And what of it?" New England Federalists tried a moderate-seeming two-step. Delegates from five states met in Hartford, Conn., in December 1814 for a three-week-long convention. They wanted to divert federal tax revenue to their states for self-defense and have the central government recognize state laws shielding their citizens from conscription--in effect, giving New England its own military and foreign policy. If Madison balked at these...

...that only Harvard affiliates can get into student houses. And second, thanks to the vastly underappreciated invention of the lock and key, only we and our roommates can walk right into our personal suites. Well, we, our roommates, and Dorm Crew. The beauty of Harvard’s easy two-step system is that as long as everyone sticks to it, it works. Problems arise—such as last week’s attempted burglary in Kirkland—when both lines of defense fail. Swipe-access’s protection is rendered null when we ignore our friendly...

...Watching it all is owner Zig Osis, who with wife Jennifer sold up as Step 1 of a "two-step retirement plan." Empty nesters, they're downsizing to a smaller place in Millicent, with a plan to sell that, too, in about seven years, buy a motor home and travel the country. As surprised as anyone that people would part with money for a lot of this stuff, Osis reckons he and Jennifer might clear a bit over $5,000 from the sale...

...technical legerdemain and vaulting athleticism, LOTR can't match K?, Cirque's Las Vegas martial-arts extravaganza. The Toronto show's battle scenes are pedestrian, and toward the end, a group of fierce warriors breaks into a heavy two-step, like clumsy backup singers in a doo-wop group. But this isn't an all-singing show, and it certainly isn't all dancing. It is a musical that becomes a spectacular morality play, an adventure with a soft and stricken heart...

...collect blood by regulations spelled out by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which prevents individuals from donating if it deems them to be at risk for carrying number of diseases, including hepatitis C, HIV and the human form of mad cow disease. Screening for these diseases is a two-step process: first, the battery of questions that all donors face, such as those about sex with other men, and second, extensive testing of the donated blood. In 2000, a committee of FDA advisers narrowly voted to continue the restriction that men who have had sex with men since...
