Sophomore goalie Mike Meagher was able to keep the ball out of the net for Harvard in the early going, diving and sprawling in all directions to jump on dangerous balls. Providence, however, soon seized a golden opportunity on a Harvard attack gone wrong...
...Eugene, Ore., Register-Guard learned about the recording and reported it. Oregonians were outraged. The Vatican sent a note of protest. Mockaitis sued, and won a $25,000 settlement after a federal court said the taping was wrong, in part because it violated the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The reasoning was that the D.A. had interfered with Mockaitis' religion by taping a sacrament. But in 1997 the Supreme Court struck down that law, saying it was too broad; Congress could not dictate terms of religious conduct to every community with a single law. So the new bill...
...that airplane surveillance tapes, which captured the moment when the pyrotechnic rounds were deployed, had been found in a box in the HRT office in Quantico, Va.? Dispatching the marshals would be a sign of her anger and a vote of no confidence in Freeh and the FBI, right? Wrong, she said. "I don't think this is a matter of anger," Reno said stonily.

...many people question whether it's a good idea for fallible human beings to go mucking about with the genes of other species. It's one thing if a scientific experiment goes wrong in a lab, they say, but something else entirely if it winds up on your dinner plate.

Plenty of trade watchers in Washington...
Conventional wisdom is that the lean, mean but powerful U.S. economy owes its strength to the armies of temporary employees that make up a larger and larger percentage of the work force. But this time conventional wisdom is wrong, according to economist Max Lyons of the Employment Policy Foundation, a Washington-based research and education group. Temps make up only between 1% and 2% of the total employed, Lyons argues in a recent study, and most of them do not temp for long; 75% of those who work temporarily do so for no more than a year. Lyons reveals...
