Battle over archaic laws in Massachusetts
----------
There are so many archaic, unenforceable laws on Massachusetts's
books that one local lawyer likens the criminal code to ''kind
of a criminal justice museum.'' But cleaning up the statutes may
be a problem; many groups want such laws as a ban on blasphemy
to remain in place for symbolic reasons. (03/05/01)
