- Successful Careers Rely on Details By GARY J. CARUSO
Life is usually peppered with sports metaphors when explanations need embellishment. Playing on a level playing field is an overused term. Yet, successful careers often hinge on the very intangibles that are characteristic of championship teams whose play prevents its opponents a level field. The secret for success in both the sports and business arenas is an attention to detail. Consequently, the more precisely focused on detail one is, the more successful one will be in attaining a goal.
- The Law, Prayer and Partial Birth Abortion By CHARLES RICE
Sometimes the truth does come out in a lawsuit. This month the full U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments on Wisconsin and Illinois laws forbidding partial birth abortion (PBA) except to save the mother's life. In Planned Parenthood v. Doyle, Judge Richard Posner, writing for a 7th Circuit panel that held the Wisconsin law unconstitutional, described PBA: "After the cervix (the mouth of the uterus), has been dilated, [t]he physician draws the fetus out feet first. When only the fetus's head remains in the uterus, the physician inserts a scissors into the base of the fetus's brain, inserts a tube in the hole made by the scissors, and removes the contents of the skull by suction, causing the skull to collapse. The physician then completes the extraction of the now-dead fetus."

- Quality of life important in abortion debate Letter to the Editor
Whether abortion helps or hurts any one person's life situation is a question I can no longer answer. Yes, it is true that the instant an abortion is performed one life is lost while another is wounded. And a good Catholic education will instill in a person that abortion is wrong. However, life is an expert at homogenizing the black and white to make gray.
