...Hooray for Judge Gerhard Gesell. I applaud his decision declaring Washington, D.C.'s abortion laws [Nov. 21] unconstitutional. I sincerely hope that the U.S. Supreme Court will agree with his decision and not get hung up on the questionable rights of the fetus. The rights of an individual female human being must come first. A woman should have the right to make decisions about her body whether the decision is in regard to the contents of her womb, the teeth in her head, or any organs of her body.

For example, while most graders are politically unconcerned, not all are agnostic. This is an older generation, recall. Some may be tired of seeing St. Augustine flattened by a phrase or reading about the "Xianmyth...
...resounding blast. The concert is over when Tree feels it should end, sometimes after 45 minutes, sometimes after an hour and a half (which most professional critics find a bit too long). Tree simply walks away. His audience is often so immersed in reverie that it forgets to applaud...
