NEW TEEN DRIVING LAW TAKES
EFFECT THIS WEEK
A new Ohio law that places additional
restrictions on teenage drivers will take effect this week.
The law, which provides that teen drivers may carry only
one passenger at a time who is not a family member, takes
effect on Friday. The law also limits the nighttime hours
that teens may drive. Some law enforcement officials question
whether the law will result in more inexperienced drivers
on the roads since they cannot ride together.

Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the 1993 Family and Medical
Leave Act is under review both by Congress and the Bush administration,

workers say the law gives them the chance to rehabilitate injuries
or tend to ailing family members, and some congressional leaders

resources employees and business groups say that the law is
frequently abused by workers who simply don’t want to
come into work from time to time.

GUANTANAMO TRIBUNALS STILL FACE HURDLES

not dispelled criticism of the system. While Bush administration
and military officials suggest that the plea from David Hicks
last week shows that the tribunal system represents a fair
and legitimate forum, others argue that the plea deal shows
only that the system is rigged to convince detainees that the
only way to get out of Guantanamo is to give prosecutors what
they want.
