It S No Way To Live

Is it ironic, tragic or just plain stupid that the hardest part of being HIV-positive for prominent athletes – the nervous, scared, terror-defying part – is telling the world? And who can blame them, given that the reward for candor can be fear and loathing? It didn’t seem that difficult for Magic Johnson to play basketball, for example. In February 1992, three months after he announced that tests showed he had the human immunodeficiency virus, Johnson accumulated 25 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds in the NBA all-star game....

It Takes A Village

Yet everywhere we look, children are under assault: from violence and neglect, from the breakup of families, from the temptations of alcohol, tobacco, sex, and drug abuse, from greed, materialism, and spiritual emptiness. These problems are not new, but in our time they have skyrocketed. Against this bleak backdrop, the struggle to raise strong children and to support families, emotionally as well as practically, has become more fierce. I have spent much of the past 25 years working to improve the lives of children....

“It was stupid,” Johansson said of Brad Marchand’s fly-by right elbow that struck him on the side of the head in the Devils 3-2 loss to the Bruins in Boston. “There was no point in doing that. There was no hockey play whatsoever…there are obviously situations where to try and hit someone to make the hockey play and it goes wrong. Then there are plays like this that has nothing to do with hockey....

It Will Be A War For The Iraqi People

NEWSWEEK: If the Iraq threat is so real, why has it been so difficult to get the international community onboard?

Just A Dollar A Day For Profit Prison Ordered To Pay Detainees 23M For Wage Theft

On Friday, a federal jury ruled the prison company had to shell out $17.3 million in back wages to the more than 10,000 detainees for violating Washington minimum wage laws by paying them just $1 for a day’s work.

Justice Kennedy Trends As Pete Buttigieg Criticized For Wanting More Judges Like Him More Like Injustice Kennedy

Buttigieg mentioned Kennedy in a recent sit-down interview with Cosmopolitan. In it, the candidate said he would like to restructure the Supreme Court to make it “less political.” One of his ideas was to have 15 members, with five of them only being able to be seated if the other 10 members approved. “The idea here is you get more justices who think for themselves. Justices like Justice Kennedy,” Buttigieg said, “Or Justice [David] Souter, and there are many legal scholars who think this could be done without a constitutional amendment under current law....

Keep Them On The Island

Clinton will try to keep the refugees away without appearing to shut the door on them. He’ll announce (and formalize by executive order later this month) a plan to expand the number of sites in Haiti for processing asylum applications. But he can’t change the standard for awarding asylum-that an individual has a “well-founded fear of persecution” if repatriated. Right now, the government regards most Haitians-unlike Cubans-only as refugees from the hemisphere’s worst poverty....
