...didn't happen. Instead, the Thai government launched a comprehensive education and prevention campaign. Brothels started using condoms. Public-service messages were broadcast on radio and television every two hours. Anti-AIDS messages--often served with a healthy dose of sanuk, the Thai sense of playfulness--were spread in schools, hospitals, police stations and courthouses.

Limbaugh and Stern are popular because their audiences consider them uniquely honest, commonsensical, funny and a bit reck-less (more than a bit in Stern's case) at a time when most people on radio and TV seem phony...
...current enthusiasm can be traced in part, oddly enough, to last summer's high-profile flop of a market that was supposed to help predict future terrorist attacks. A public backlash killed that Pentagon project a few months before its debut, but not before the media broadcast the notion that useful information embedded within a group of people could be drawn out and organized via a marketplace.
