Rowling has tapped into a powerful fantasy that I've used to comfort myself for as long as I can remember. That old separatist fantasy, the one that she evokes in me at the start of every Harry Potter book, starts to look good. Damn good," writes CAL MONTGOMERY. But things are seldom as they seem.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is constitutional, says the Supreme Court . . . at least some of the Justices say that, about at least the law's Title II . . . that is, at least part of Title II . . . It all comes down to this: Did Congress have any real evidence that states were discriminating against people with disabilities when it passed the ADA? And what is "disability discrimination" anyway? Does it occur when there are steps? Ragged Edge editor MARY JOHNSON takes a look at just what the Justices said in their May 17 ruling.

Gateway 30 April 2001 International Experts on Race Visit Civil Rights Museum By David Pitts Washington File Staff Writer (Former Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King died) Memphis, Tennessee "I was very moved by what I saw here, even though I knew the basic story of the American civil rights movement," said David Sam of Norway. "I knew little about the details of that struggle," said Rosanna Wong from Hong Kong. They were talking about the National Civil Rights Museum located on the site of the former Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed on April 4, 1968. The museum not only honors King's memory, it houses a comprehensive overview of the U.S. civil rights movement. The international visitors were in Oxford, Mississippi to attend a conference on "International Perspectives on Race, Ethnicity and Intercultural Relations," held April 18-22 at the University of Mississippi. While there, however, they took time out to visit the museum located about 70 miles north of Oxford in Memphis, Tennessee. The main exhibits are vignettes capturing pivotal moments in the struggle of African Americans for equal rights in the United States, including the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that outlawed school segregation, the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott that led to the ending of segregation in public transport, and the 1963 March on Washington at which King gave his electrifying "I Have A Dream" speech."

News Release Argentina: on the verge of political and institutional chaos MONTREAL, March 13, 2002 Organized by the International Federation of Human Rights, the mission set out to gather information on the reported violations of civil and political rights as an official response to widespread protests at the government's failure to guarantee citizens' basic social, economic and cultural rights. It found an alarming deterioration in the living standards of the majority of Argentines and clear evidence that the government is not meeting its obligations to its citizens, as set out in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, ratified by Argentina in 1986. Official statistics show that currently 15 million of a population of 37 million live beneath the poverty line, with the numbers rising daily, and the middle classes affected as much as the poorer classes. Domestic production is virtually paralyzed, and the government, with its tax and debt revenues shrunk by 50%, is on the brink of bankruptcy. As the fissure deepens daily between the citizens of Argentina and the state institutions, the Mission was also alarmed to note the state's response of criminalization of legitimate social protest. Hundreds of cases, such as that of illegally imprisoned anti-hunger activist Emilio Ali, who has become a symbol of the government's attempts to delegitimize democratic dissent, only further discredit the judiciary, already dishonoured by its failure to bring to justice past military rulers for their crimes against humanity.

The destruction of New York City's World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon in Washington raise innumerable questions that can be dealt with in the classroom. Although the most recent terrorist attacks have the greatest impact on America, they are part of a long and tragic history of terrorism that has been developing around the globe for decades.

U.S. Department of State Jordan Report on Human Rights Practices for 1997 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, January 30, 1998. JORDAN The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy that has been ruled by King Hussein since 1952. The Constitution concentrates a high degree of executive and legislative authority in the King, who determines domestic and foreign policy. The Prime Minister and the Cabinet manage the daily affairs of government. The Parliament consists of the 40-member Senate appointed by the King and the 80-member Chamber of Deputies, which is elected by the people every 4 years. After the 1989 elections and the lifting of martial law in 1991, the lower house began to assert itself on domestic and foreign policy issues. The Parliament elected in 1993, however, was less assertive than its predecessor. Over 500 candidates competed in the October parliamentary elections, despite a boycott by the Islamist and other parties. The election was marred by reports of registration irregularities, fraud, and restrictions on the press and on campaign materials
