WASHINGTON - Fifty years after introduction of the pill, another birth control revolution may be on the horizon: free contraception for women in the U.S., thanks to the new health care law.
The change could start a shift toward more reliable - and expensive - forms of birth control that are gaining acceptance in other developed countries. But first, look for a fight over social mores.

The legal and moral ("just war") permissibility of preventive military attacks has been one of the most urgent questions in international law since the onset of the War on Terror. Debates in this area commonly rest upon an assumption that the relevant strategic choice is between preventive war and deterrence, and that even if preventive war may be controversial, deterrence at least is legally straightforward and relatively unproblematic.
