...similar complaints from the Justice Department. On the liberal side, a spokesperson for the Center for Technology Freedom was indignant: "The fundamental operating truths of the cyber-world are simply not being recognized. Whether we like it or not, unless an activity is globally abhorred, it is impossible to banish it from the World Wide Web," he said...
Everyone knows there's nothing better than a night-light to banish those monsters that go bump in the night. And so when a study linking the use of night-lights to nearsightedness was published in 1999, guilt-wracked parents were forced to choose between their children's comfort and their own peace of mind. Tonight, parents and children alike can sleep a bit easier: Two studies published in this week's issue of the journal Nature go a long way toward debunking last year's scare; researchers were unable to duplicate the findings reported in the preliminary study.

A Gallup/CNN/USA Today poll that has tracked the issue since 1990 found that in June 1999, only 62% of Americans favored stricter gun laws, compared with 78% in 1990. And a Gallup poll found that the percentage of people who believe the government should ban civilian handgun possession has fallen from 41% in 1981 to 38% in 1999. Perhaps a growing number of Americans have begun to realize gun-control laws do not make...
