...Take Hooters for example. Third-year Harvard Law student Sharon M. McGowan explains that "Hooters sells food, but it also sells sex. Since they admit to selling sex and that is their main theme, they have the right to only hire female wait staff. Generally, though, when these defenses are posed to a judge they look upon them unsympathetically." The loopholes are there, but the courts make it a tough argument to support...
...haven't panned out. Of course, that doesn't make me reconsider my elaborate plotting. Not until the moment has passed can I accept that a plan was never going to leave its paper. Likewise, I'll bet it takes the five of us until our final closeout to admit (despite all the evidence) that the rigid guidelines we designed last winter were simply not meant to be.

If he lets the Navy stay in Vieques, there is a strong probability that a following president will ignore Clinton's recommendation and permit further bombardment in Vieques...
...even the IMF threat is unlikely to have much effect on Russia's plans." Western leaders are warning that not only will destroying the city and every living thing in it diminish Russia's international standing, but the march on Grozny may have created its own momentum. "Russian sources admit there's no military rationale for pressing ahead with an all-out assault on Grozny," says Meier. "From a strategic point of view, it makes more sense to simply lay siege to the city. But there may be a political rationale to pressing the offensive and destroying the Chechen capital...
