Censorship will remove a problem from view but surely will not solve it. In order to make our children safe sexually and treat the "predator" mind, would it not make more sense to discuss and heal? In this time of general assault upon liberal values, it is important to remember that liberalism trusts dialogue and democratic process, and has faith in the basic goodness of human beings. It is also important to recall that each of us can have a right-wing part of our mind that needs to be revealed and healed. JAN STEPHEN CAVANAUGH West Hurley...
WASHINGTON: Apologies may be in vogue at the White House right now. But President Clinton offered no regrets Monday to some 20,000 would-be assault weapon owners -- whose imported guns will remain tantalizingly out of reach as a result of today's executive order. And that, says the President, is just as it should be. "You don't need an Uzi to go deer hunting," he told a Rose Garden audience of crime-fighting officials.

Gay men in particular are at high risk for gay-bashing, assault and hate crimes during the night. The shuttle service needs to be expanded to all students equally...
...country. In the U.S. it's more than $20, but in the rest of the world the figure is $6 or $7, and as little as $2 or $3 in Germany, home of Adidas and Puma. That's why Nike has made soccer the focus of an unprecedented assault. The logic is simple. Soccer is the world's sport, and the company can't have any credibility as a sports brand unless it is a factor in the game. "Our goal is to be the world leader in football by 2002, the next World Cup," says Sandy Bodecker, who runs...
