...This is not a hard problem to fix. Tort reform is not rocket science. A reasonable bill passed the House of Representatives just last year but died in the Senate, where the trial-lawyer lobby rules. The elements of a fix are simple: no limit on plaintiffs' lost earnings or other costs, a reasonable cap on pain and suffering ($250,000 in the House bill), a similar cap on punitive damages, serious penalties for frivolous lawsuits...
...police at 12:30 a.m. in Tucson, Ariz., after she was spotted driving erratically. Ross, never one for small gestures, was cited for an "extreme DUI."

Instead, he went with the New Zionist flow and showed photos from his days as an army general, including a video clip in which assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak...

When you can’t categorize a sound, you can’t limit its possibilities—something Common apparently understands and capitalizes upon in Electric Circus. Last year’s amazing albums from The Roots, Talib Kweli and Cody Chesnutt proved the place of electronica and the electric guitar in the music of this new hip-hop movement. But Common’s new album delivers the exclamation point on an already strong declaration. In “New Wave,” Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab...
