The affirmative-action debate, smoldering for years, is flaring up again–just in time for the 1996 election.

Bakke said universities could use race and gender as factors in admissions. But the majority was only 5-4, and the Supreme Court has since moved steadily rightward....

The Batman is here, and is jam-packed with three hours of riddles, mystery, and corruption in Gotham City. The first two acts are largely just that, with the Batman acting as a detective with Jim Gordon, a Lieutenant in this year two story, the John Watson to the Dark Knight’s Sherlock Holmes. It’s a duo act that has rarely been seen on screen in such a prominent role, as even Christopher Nolan’s trilogy had these two famous characters interact but not necessarily in the mystery/detective style that they do here....
From Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt to Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway, the character of Catwoman has seen some tremendous talents fill the role in previous Batman projects. While it is unclear whether Kravitz wanted to audition for the Catwoman role in The Dark Knight Rises, the conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed The Dark Knight trilogy, she has no doubt proved herself more than worthy to take over the mantle of the anti-heroine....

Gotham Knights is an original IP with distinct RPG features, but there are a few seminal Batman games that players should be introduced to or revisit in the meantime. Gotham Knights would likely not exist if it were not for the Batman games that came before it, particularly the Batman games that feature Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Red Hood as playable characters.

For every couple games added to Xbox Game Pass, another is removed. As of February 2021, there are almost as many removed games as there are present games — which reflects quite well on the breadth of the service, as it has been cycling through games for almost four years. Still, some all-time classics have dipped from the roster, and it’s not a bad idea to see what isn’t there anymore before signing up....

The trouble arose when George began looking at the physiology of sorrow. He asked his experimental volunteers to recall their saddest memories while he tracked the flow of blood inside their brains. The tests included both men and women, although George wasn’t looking for discrepancies between them. Neither sex had much difficulty conjuring up suitably sad thoughts, and in both sexes the PET scans displayed a strong increase of circulation to parts of the limbic system, a primitive region deep within the brain....
Consider the nationalities of the suicide bombers. Almost all are from Saudi Arabia, Egypt or that quasi-Saudi gulf state, the United Arab Emirates. This is not a coincidence. These countries have been the fertile ground on which radical Islamic terrorism has grown. We will almost certainly attack Afghanistan (as we must, because the Taliban has sheltered Al Qaeda), but it is worth remembering that not a single Afghan has been directly tied to any terrorist attack against the West....
“Halfway through our shopping, the store’s power went out,” Hennessy wrote in his post. “We kept shopping as hundreds of other people were too. We were picking up some milk and other items for other family members too and wanted to be sure we got everything we went there for.” Nearly 15 minutes later, an employee let the Hennessys know they needed to head to the checkout area. “We got to a line with about 10 full carts in front of us, and there were many lines to both sides of us—probably several hundred people waiting to be checked out,” Hennessy wrote....
