...pity these courts will not be able to consider a recent experiment conducted by school psychologist Ron McGee. According to Fox News, McGee asked a group of fourth graders in Atlanta, Georgia, to vote for their favorite cartoon character with a ballot identical to the one used in Palm Beach. Actually, the ballot McGee used was a tad harder than its Palm Beach analogue. The two columns for best cartoon candidate got squeezed onto one page, not two, and they weren't separated by any sort of neat central punch space. But don't tell that to the dazed...
Everything about the Napster partnership is classic Middelhoff. It is counterintuitive, iconoclastic and so bold as to be regarded with derision, if not anger, by some of his competitors. Bertelsmann may lack the cartoon rabbits or mice that make its competitors household brands, but under Middelhoff, it has become more global and more diverse than most of them. Last year the privately held company had sales of $13.7 billion and profits of $480 million.

They are both complex and sometimes compromised men, both pragmatists who will govern in part based on economic realities and the need to push bills though a sharply divided Congress--no matter which party ends up with...
...Roper poll found 8- to 12-year-olds were signing on to vegetarianism at twice the rate of adults. Helping set the tone are books--two in just the past year for teen veggies--and stories about celebrity vegetarians such as Chelsea Clinton, Paul McCartney and Alicia Silverstone. (TV-cartoon heroine Lisa Simpson is an especially vocal veggie.) With mainstream groceries carrying products like Boca Burgers, soy milk and tofu, and fast-food restaurants like Wendy's offering veggie pitas, meat-eating parents are having an easier time accommodating their kids and, in some cases, are following suit...
