By Deborah Goldberg
President Bush wants to pick and choose when his administration will obey the law. In a budget document sent to Capitol Hill on Monday, he has asked Congress to eliminate funding needed for compliance with new court orders enforcing the Endangered Species Act.

She often wrote from her own experiences on Chicago’s South Side, explaining, “I am interested in telling my particular truth as I have seen it.”
