...love is even tougher at attitude-adjustment wilderness camps. Teens are enrolled for one to three months of rigorous camping and treks through the wild. To establish discipline, food and water are often withheld. For punishment, the camps often impose grueling hikes and uncomfortable sleeping conditions. Cathy and Bob Sutton of Ripon, Calif., sent their 16-year-old daughter Michelle to camp Summit Quest in the summer of 1990 because she had become depressed and dabbled with drugs after she was date-raped. The Suttons, who thought from a marketing director's pitch that the camp sounded challenging but kind...
...precedent-setting case, is supposed to be turned over to ensure a fair trial, based on all the facts. Many defense attorneys around New Orleans say Connick's office continues to flout the law. In the past three months, says local defense lawyer Rick Tessier, Connick's office has withheld favorable evidence three times in three separate capital cases in which he's been involved.

While he did oust some corrupt officials and sold off union jets and limousines after his 1991 election, insiders say he also readily cut deals with Old-Guard Teamsters leaders. In one such move, Carey withheld his support from a Washington local that was battling corrupt officials--whereupon the 3,500-member group quit the union. "Carey turned on his friends and made deals with the devil," says Arthur Fox, former attorney for a group of dissident Teamsters drivers. "Then when he needed support from those...
