Each year 1,000 Americans die as a result of bicycle accidents. In 75% of the deaths, the cause is head trauma. Influenced by those statistics, Maryland's Howard County last week passed a bill requiring all bicyclists to wear helmets or face fines of as much as $100 per violation. The law is expected to inspire similar legislation across the U.S. But bicycle makers fear that helmet laws could hurt business. The Bicycle Manufacturers Association of America contends that the price of helmets -- typically $20 to $80 -- may cut into the sport's appeal by increasing its cost...
...script called for blizzard scenes at a major airport.

You are encouraged to laugh along with...
Jews have bar mitzvah, Catholics have confirmation, and Mormons have . . . endowment. Never heard of it? Not surprising, since this coming-of-age rite for all regular church members occurs only in temples that are strictly off limits to nonbelievers, and initiates vow to die rather than reveal details of the ceremony. Despite the secrecy shroud, news has leaked that Mormon officials last month instituted the most sweeping ritual changes in a century...
