Virginia abortion rights advocates have a new tactic.
Rather than fight hardest for the right to have an abortion, they're fighting to make it easier for women to get a pill that's been available for 15 years.
They say the so-called "morning after pill" would prevent an unwanted pregnancy without an abortion.
[Double Boxes=Keith and Ellen/State Microwave]

The world of lonesome whistles and pounding drivers has receded a little further into history.
Photographer O. Winston Link died yesterday afternoon near his home in Westchester County, New York.
Link had been feeling ill, and was driving himself to see a doctor.

By the time rescue workers arrived, Link was dead.
