In the 2007 case Varnum v. Brien, a Polk County, Iowa judge ordered the state of Iowa to begin processing marriage licenses for same-sex couples. One of the rationales for striking down the gay-marriage ban was that it failed to pass rational-basis review. If the Iowa Supreme Court chooses to uphold the ruling, it should choose to apply rational basis "with teeth," a form of scrutiny that has appeared in U.S. Supreme Court cases where the court suspected invidious legislative motives were at work. Applyingthis test would most accurately follow U.S. Supreme Court precedent and would be a wise tactical move in handling such a volatile issue, leaving open future legislative and judicial avenues for addressing gay marriage.

That's why, in 1999, [Ruth Abrams] and Liz Sevcenko, the museum's vice president of programs, sent out a message in a bottle, asking museums around the world whether they felt their own work had "a fundamental social mission." The eight museums that responded became the founding members of the International Coalition of Historic Sites of Conscience, an organization that, as Sevcenko explains, serves as "a kind of a support group for misfit museums.
With so much of their energy focused on promoting public dialogue about human rights, democracy and social activism, do Coalition museums forego the traditional role of a histor...

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a congressional panel Wednesday that U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and his fellow agents were not under orders to refrain from using lethal force in a December gunbattle near the Mexican border that resulted in Mr. Terry's death.
Testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Miss Napolitano said agents are allowed to use lethal force "if you are under threat of serious injury or death." She said she herself had asked whether the four agents involved in the Dec. 14 shootout with bandits on the border in Arizona had their hands tied by orders, and she said the answer was "absolutely not.

I have been away - 8,500 miles away in India, where I was born and lived until age 10.
I was vacationing with family, lecturing on antibiotic-resistant bacteria, convening meetings on tuberculosis, visiting shimmering private hospitals, talking with elementary school kids in villages and sharing precious moments with my 93-year-old grandfather.
