...University to force students with deep-seated moral qualms about homosexuality to attempt to live with a gay roommate is to disregard what, for many, is a core religious belief. Students whose faith leads them to this belief have become unwitting targets of campus angst...
...site's debut last week at www.ronsangels.com outraged fertility experts and ethicists, who accused Harris of everything from running a soft-core eBay to the Hitlerian crime of eugenics. Democratic Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, who wrote the 1992 federal law regulating fertility clinics, called the operation "crass commercialism."

In real life, Apple says, she's happily dating filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights). But on this CD, her heart is a chunk of meat in a fridge: unloved, unlovable, freezer-burned. Violated once, she says romance races "right through" her. So she writes...
