Levy seeks lower DWI threshold in New York
ALBANY Senator Norman Levy proposes reducing New York driving while intoxicated BACs to .08 for adults and .04 for under 21. If enacted, two drinks in an hour could convict an underage driver of DWI, down from the current .10. The bill has no Assembly sponsor and faces slim chances this late in the session.

In a 7-0-2 decision written by Chief Justice Rehnquist, the court said opinion can be libelous if it implies a false factual assertion.
