...gays by gays themselves is a sad end to the long struggle for tolerance by the gay community. That ex-gays and their supporters are now oppressed by the same people who until recently were victimized themselves, demonstrates how far the gay rights movement has come. Indeed, a new chapter in the movement has begun—the right of homosexuals and lesbians to leave that lifestyle should they so choose...
...merge with Bethlehem Steel, National Steel and other troubled companies. USX-U.S. Steel also wants the government to assume the unfunded pension and retiree-health-care obligations of its takeover targets--estimated at $13 billion over the actuarial lifetimes of retirees.

...week. But for Serb schoolchildren, the man who dominated Yugoslav politics for 13 years has mysteriously disappeared. A new history text for students ages 13 and 14--the first published since Milosevic was removed from power in 2000--fails to mention him or carry a single photograph. The final chapter, titled "Contemporary Problems of Yugoslavia," covers the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo but omits the man responsible for them. The uprising that ended his rule is described this way: "Federal elections...led to a change of power and a modification of domestic and foreign policy." Authors of the text...
