...here's the deep-dark secret of the Camaro: this bruiser is a cruiser. At 65 m.p.h. on the highway, the SS engine puts out only 1,900 r.p.m. (the typical sedan would be somewhere around 2,500 r.p.m.), which means it's surprisingly, pleasingly quiet. Yes, it still roars when you floor it. But Chevy has made the Camaro suitable for 40- and 50-year-olds with balky backs and memories of younger days. The chairs are older-suburban-guy comfy, as if they had come out of a Malibu...

"The porn industry has deep, deep, deep pockets," says state senator Tim Huelskamp, who believes there is a link between pornography and fantasy-driven criminal behavior. "Justice shouldn't have a price. What is the cost of one additional rape of a child, the cost of another young woman being a victim? Kansas families deserve an opportunity to drive freely down the highway without this kind of advertising...
...word out about the plight of the vultures. Unlike blue whales, polar bears and other beloved species in danger of extinction, it may be harder to rally folks to save these prickly feathered birds with bumpy, bald heads, portly physiques and a tendency to be knee-deep in rotting flesh. "People look at vultures and see an ugly bird," Aversa says. "We will try to change attitudes and raise awareness of these scavengers in the ecosystem...
