...better method is to study individual sites--yes, that means hundreds of thousands of them, one at a time--and then place them on yes or no lists that can be updated as new pages pop up in the Web's endless sprawl. A program called CyberPatrol identifies 12 categories of troublesome material (violence, profanity, sexual acts and so on) that parents can block at their discretion. The software can also be adjusted for different age groups. "My six-year-old son doesn't need to know how to put on a condom," says CyberPatrol spokeswoman Sydney Rubin...
...appropriate metaphor for the film overall: trying to package the story for general tastes, it hardly concerns itself with what's actually inside. Perhaps the most interesting element of Kate's life, as the camera captures it, is her enviably well-stocked wardrobe, which expands into a seemingly endless array of power suits and cocktail dresses.

...listening to people complain of injustice, I am struck by simultaneously-low voter turnout, daily grumbling overheard on the train about mandatory jury duty and ubiquitous public opinion polls that show Americans are unhappy with their goernment, their society and their lives. Make no mistake: it is not the endless calls for help that bother me, but rather the fact that they are not matched by an equally bountiful stream of civic duty and a commitment to change--not just complain about--the system...
