...House, with Democrat Dick Gephardt standing stony silent beside him. Both parties "will stand shoulder to shoulder to fight this evil," Hastert promised. He asked everyone to bow their heads in a moment of silence. Afterward the Congressmen and Senators, Republicans hugging Democrats, broke out into a chorus of God Bless America...

However, fewer teenagers—even 21st century ones—grieve, “But he’s got a real one, and mine’s from the store.” The novelty of “Ganja,” a song about Jesus...
