Cutting carpools and common sense
May 18, 2004When Ohio drivers receive their licenses, they face only one restriction on passengers -everyone in the front seat of the car must wear a seat belt. If the Ohio Department of Public Safety has its way, however, young drivers will have to abide by a new law that would allow only one passenger, other than family members, for 16-or 17-year-old drivers. While groups like the AAA Ohio Motorists Association claim the regulation would reduce risk for young drivers, teens and parents across the state are trying to halt this legislation. Wishful thinking leads to the belief that the one-passenger law will improve driving records. In reality, the new rule leaves drivers and law enforcement at a dead end. It's neither enforceable nor realistic.

The forgotten story of Palestine
May 18, 2004Wiped from the pages of the Western hemisphere's collective memory, the sorrow-laden Palestinian narrative of suffering and injustice has been forgotten.
