Stick to Necking. Controversy has been a prime objective of Op-Ed since its inception, and the page now draws nearly as many letters to the Times as the paper's editorials. Although some of the political contributions have been a bit pedantic, other offerings have produced delight, drama and deliberate outrage. The most inflammatory essay to date was an open letter to his college-bound son by a Southern physician, Dr. Paul Williamson. Stick to studying and necking and avoid revolution, wrote the father, or "expect to get shot. Mother and I will grieve, but we will gladly...
Many of his fans clearly do delight in the absence of jackass antics on the show.

Most of the other government officials who were arrested are being held in a large underground basement of the Public Prosecutor's building, where they must sleep...
...Sticky Fingers has sold a half-million copies in its first two weeks. It also shows that the Stones are masters of much more than what British Critic Geoffrey Cannon calls "roaring white rock." Bitch and Brown Sugar, as irreverent, aggressive and sexually brutal as ever, will delight old-line Stones fans. Can't You Hear Me Knocking, by contrast, is a stylistic meeting place for old and new. It begins with that familiar buzzing, distorted guitar sound and inimitable druggy sentiments ("Yeah, you've got plastic boots/ Y'all got cocaine eyes Yeah you got speed...
