Cycle of antagonism

Faced with narrow streets, aggressive drivers, and privileged pedestrians, bicyclists find traveling in the city dangerous work.

It is difficult biking in Boston (especially with the endless construction around the Big Dig that frustrates everyone), but I've found that if you're respectful of the people around you, and keep your eyes open, most times you'll be ok. Granted, the situation is a bit more complex for the bicycle couriers...

Cardinal tries to allay parishioners' fear, anger

In retrospect, I acknowledge that, albeit unintentionally, I have failed in that responsibility, Law said while reading the letter. The judgments I made, while made in good faith, were tragically wrong. Because of this, some have called for my resignation. I do not believe that submitting my resignation to the Holy Father is the answer to the terrible scourge of sexual abuse of children by priests.

Cardinal Law should be forgiven for his poor judgment - and he should resign.
