Imagine going to an abortion clinic and waking up days later handcuffed to a bed in a basement where you will be held prisoner until it is too late to get an abortion. You are the captive of a Christian underground prepared to do anything to protect a fetus' rights, even kidnap you, take you hundreds of miles from home and "document" your experience as an unwilling mother. Your captors mean to use you as a public test case proving they know what is best. Indeed, you were chosen specifically because you were raped -- the rape victim has always been...
...controversy, and this one is no exception. When in 1989 Mitterrand first unveiled architect I.M. Pei's modernistic glass pyramid in the the museum's vast central courtyard, the work brought accusations of aesthetic heresy.

If, or when, the tailings dump fails, it will funnel heavy metals into Fisher Creek, which becomes the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone River, the only "wild and scenic" river in northwestern Wyoming. If the Army Corps of Engineers or the Environmental Protection Agency vetoes the wetlands destruction, the next best site would require a more complicated...
