Intelligence testing: do traditional IQ tests overlook some bright students?
Article Abstract:
Debate over the validity of intelligence and aptitude tests is growing. Many psychologists feel that such tests do a good job measuring abstract reasoning ability but cannot account for other aspects of intelligence, such as creativity. Some experts believe that IQ is a genetic factor, while others claim the tests used to measure IQ are racially and culturally biased. A group of psychologists led by Howard Gardner believes that there are at least seven types of intelligence, meaning students who score below average on IQ tests may be above average in other fields of intelligence.

Roe v. Wade at 25: will the landmark abortion ruling stand?
Article Abstract:
Debate over "partial-birth abortion" legislation has renewed consideration over the US Supreme Court decision in 1972 to allow states to decide the legality of abortions. Abortion-rights advocates are concerned that this controversy will threaten the constitutional right to choose abortion, while Congressional Republicans will attempt to overturn President Clinton's veto of partial-birth bans in 1998.
