Article Abstract:
Intelligent design proponents have been active around the country, encouraging conservative state and local school boards and committees that periodically review science-teaching standards to require teachers to introduce students to criticism of evolution. The nationwide intelligent-design community, led by the Kansas based Intelligent Design Network, has also joined local conservative groups and individuals to push for the standards.

Current situation: Challenging questions
Article Abstract:
The Supreme Court justices are deliberating over the New London eminent-domain case after giving little encouragement to property-rights advocates in their effort to control municipalities from the use of power for economic development. Among the seven justices on the bench, only conservative Antonin Scalia sided with the property-owners efforts to block the condemnations.

Courts as backup?
Article Abstract:
The drug-safety officials state that the Civil courts and other regulatory agencies will serve as a necessary backup system to protect consumers since the FDA cannot possibly detect all instances of unsafe drugs. The Bush administration wants to cap damage claims in civil cases involving adverse drug reactions to $250000 per victim if a drug was FDA-approved.
