Until a man ran through a yield sign and severely damaged my car, I also held the attitude that insurance companies are apt to penalize the claimants [June...
...took Blackmun longer than the other Justices to reach a decision in the case, he expressed it all the more passionately in his separate opinion. He wrote that he would "yield to no one in my earnest hope that the time will come when an affirmative-action program is unnecessary and is only a relic of the past." But the slow pace of desegregation after Brown vs. Board of Education had convinced him that his hope is a "slim" one. He thought it was ironic that the injection of race into university admissions could cause such a disturbance, when preferences...
...short, the President was misleading when he thundered that the Steiger amendment would scarcely yield "two bits for the average American." Many "average" Americans have found that inflation has sent the price of their property way up; but the real value of the dollars that they collect upon selling it has gone way down.

Then everybody would benefit: the sellers would pocket profits, on which they would...
Equally adept at agronomy and foiling the police, Oregon's pot farmers turned home-grown weed into a profitable racket by developing their unique sinsemillas hybrid.

"A good deal of expertise goes into producing that kind of plant," notes Dr. Carlton Turner, director of marijuana research for the National Institute of Drug Abuse...

To get that high interest from any other bank deposit, a saver would have to tie up his funds for up to four years instead of six months. Since the buyer of certificates gets his money back a half year later, he can turn around and reinvest it in an even higher-interest certificate if Treasury bill rates continue to rise...
