1. Supremes, The
   Many of Motown's best-known songs, such as all of the early hits for The Supremes, were written by the songwriting trio of Holland-Dozier-Holland (brothers Brian & Eddie Holland and colleague Lamont Dozier). Other important producers and songwriters at Motown's Hitsville U.S.A. recording studio and headquarters included Norman Whitfield & Barrett Strong, Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, Frank Wilson, Motown artists Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and Gordy himself.
2. Supreme Commander
   Supreme Commander is set in the distant future, and humanity has split into three competing factions. The United Earth Federation represents order and empire, the cybernetic Cybran fight for independence, while the alien-enlightened Aeon seek to liberate the universe. The single-player campaign is divided into three smaller campaigns, letting you battle from the perspective of each of the factions. Unlike those in most other RTS games, where all three campaigns would usually be tied together in a linear fashion to tell a bigger story, the campaigns in Supreme Commander all stand alone. Each faction fights for what it believes in, and hence, no side is really "evil." It's a nice touch, because that mentality captures the essence of war.
3. Supreme Commander -- Infinite War
   Supreme Commander takes place in the 37th century — the year 3844 — as three rival factions continue their centuries-long fight, an intergalactic war that has claimed billions of lives and turned once-thriving planets into rubble. In the single-player campaign, your goal is to end this Infinite War by choosing one of the sides — the United Earth Federation (UEF), Aeon Illuminate and Cybran Nation — and destroying its foes so there can finally be peace.
4. Free Speech -- Supreme Court
   Free speech is a wonderful thing. But hate for government officials (on public property) is certainly no more protected than religious messages on public property. Whereas liberals go to court to force the government to remove religious messages from the public square, conservatives mobilize to have offensive messages removed through the Democratic Process of petitioning for a legislative action or ballot initiative. This process insures that the will of the majority (rather than that group which squeals the loudest) wins.
5. Zuma -- Supreme Court
   Search warrants and not subpoenas were necessary to obtain documents from African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma, the state argued in the Supreme Court of Appeal on Tuesday. Wim Trengove argued that the lesser means of a subpoena would cause a "high risk" of evidence being concealed or destroyed.
6. Pakistan -- Pakistan's Supreme Court
   According to highly placed Pakistani sources, earlier this month Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah called on Musharraf to allow Sharif back into Pakistan. A source, requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic, said that the king had written to the Pakistani president urging him to permit Sharif's repatriation because of a ruling by Pakistan's Supreme Court and in deference to "the wishes of the Pakistani people." NEWSWEEK's source said that Musharraf's response was to insist that Sharif stayed in Saudi Arabia but that his wife, Kulsoom, could return sooner.
7. Child Pornography -- Supreme Court
   Ingwald Johnson, 57, of Plymouth, Ind., who fled the country after pleading guilty in 1998 to child pornography charges, has been arrested in Turkey and is expected to soon be returned to Indiana. He was taken to the island of Cyprus, where he is being held pending a formal extradition, said Marshall County Prosecutor Curt Palmer. In 1999, the U.S. and Cyprus, an island over which Turkey has half control, signed an extradition treaty. Johnson skipped out on a court-ordered sentence after pleading guilty to child exploitation, a Class D felony, and two misdemeanor charges of possession of child pornography. Johnson had admitted in court that he photographed a 15-year-old boy engaging in sexual conduct with a 16-year-old girl.
8. Casey Martin -- Supreme Court
   [N]ow, seven years later, as golfer Casey Martin appears before the Supreme Court asking approval for his own forced elimination of superior rivals, the legal system appears poised to punish the victims and reward the attacker. This sad reversal is made possible by a federal statute that penalizes ability in the name of helping the disabled.
9. Reverse Discrimination -- Supreme Court
   In a break from other federal courts, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (which encompasses Michigan) has recognized a claim for "reverse discrimination" under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. In Cline v. General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc., the court held that an employee can make out a claim of age discrimination if his or her employer treats an older employee more favorably on the basis of age. In Cline, General Dynamics and the UAW had been bound by a collective bargaining agreement that obligated General Dynamics to provide full health benefits to retired workers. General Dynamics and the UAW negotiated a new contract in 1997 that no longer required General Dynamics to provide health benefits to retirees, except that employees who were 50 years of age or older at the time of the new contract were "grandfathered" and still eligible for full health benefits upon retirement. Employees who were between ages 40 and 49 then sued for age discrimination, claiming that the company could not lawfully treat older employees more favorably than them simply on the basis of age. The Sixth Circuit agreed, holding that a reverse discrimination claim is actionable under the ADEA.
10. Fourteenth Amendment -- Supreme Court
    Does the Fourteenth Amendment incorporate the Bill of Rights? Is it a settled issue? Does it even matter? Is federalism dead? Is decentralization an illusive dream? These are questions that have once again been raised since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its June 23, 2005, "Kelo decision."
