...fairness to the responsible journalists, some writers try to make the distinction between "Islam" and "Islamic fundamentalism." But their efforts are futile because Americans understand so little about Islam and because the media coverage of Islam is characteristically negative. Stories abound about the ruthlessness of the Taleban, Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, and the oppression of women in Muslim nations. As long as the front pages of our newspapers run such stories, the mere association of terrorists with Islam--the mere usage of the terms Islamic fundamentalist or Islamic extremist--threatens to further exacerbate the cleavage between Muslims...

Corruption at the jail was supposedly so prevalent that Brown campaigned on auditing the books, firing the culprits and replacing three decades of cronyism. "Clean it up," his supporters had shouted into bullhorns the year before as they drove slowly through the towns...
That's right, strip clubs. Nudie bars abound in Florida's very own "Sin City." It has been estimated that there are currently 72 different places where women take off their clothes on stage for the viewing pleasure of mostly randy adolescents, depraved business men, and the occasional wide-eyed tourist...
