...seemed to be tipping back toward the libertarians. In a move that surprised conservative supporters, House Speaker Newt Gingrich denounced the Exon amendment. "It is clearly a violation of free speech, and it's a violation of the right of adults to communicate with each other," he told a caller on a cable-TV show. It was a key defection, because Gingrich will preside over the computer-decency debate when it moves to the House in July. Meanwhile, two U.S. Representatives, Republican Christopher Cox of California and Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon, were putting together an anti-Exon amendment that...

Thieu was really tough, one of those guys who, if you looked right into his eyes and tried to shoot him, you wouldn't be able to pull the trigger. But that day when Toan came in, Thieu...
...should be able to get involved in theater...anybody can join; we try not to take ourselves too seriously," says founding member Tanya V. Bezreh '95. To achieve club status at Harvard, the group has an official president, but in reality, there are only two positions: the designated "phone-caller" and "e-mailer." The same members of the Onion Weavers who create the puppets also write the shows, perform with their puppets and build sets. "A multi-faceted person can do all kinds of things," says Bezreh...
