Something very much in the spirit of the French club trip. The American public has read a lot about the country's poisonous inversion; about militia groups and hatred of immigrants. Montoursville would seem to have a different approach. It is hardly cosmopolitan, nor especially wealthy. Yet for decades it has found a way to send its teens all over the world. The trips leave every three years, so that everyone will have a chance to travel at some point during high school. There is a German club and a Spanish club, and an environmental-science club scheduled...

Indecent (as opposed to obscene) material is clearly protected in print by the First Amendment, and a large percentage of the printed material currently available to Americans, whether it be James Joyce's Ulysses or much of what's in Cosmopolitan magazine, could be called indecent. As would my saying, right here, right now, that this bill is full of shit...
