...right to counsel long predates the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Medieval English common law courts recognized that the accused had to have access to a trusted source of information about the laws in order for the adversarial system of justice to be fair. This sentiment was made explicit by the 6th Amendment, guaranteeing that the accused have access to counsel to conduct his or her defense...
...other tracks that distinguish themselves, however, do so as a result of their explicit nature. “Fuck Her Gently,” “Cock Pushups” and “Kielbasa” all have their humorous moments, but they are all on a scattological, college-boy-reveling-in-his-immaturity level. In fact, there is little on this album that would appeal to anyone other than college-age males...
...there any grownups in the movie world? Yes, in Europe, where the French have restored ooh-la-la to art-house films with the explicit depiction of sexuality. And by explicit we mean X-plicit: copulation, fellatio and other human activities, shown with a realism that is hard core or close to it.

In fact, the art-sex picture has blossomed so fully that it is very nearly its own genre. The past few years have seen such stark French studies as Gaspar Noe's I Stand Alone, Bruno Dumont's The Life of Jesus and L'Humanite, and Breillat's Romance and A Real Young Girl (all of which have played in U.S. theaters and are available on video). These films are grim, graphic and not so much erotic as grittily...
...parent likes to see a child frightened; it's a wound both to your heart and your pride. Yet particularly in communities most directly affected by the attacks, children are explicit about their new fears. Researchers from Sesame Workshop surveyed children recruited in shopping centers last spring and again a few weeks after the attacks. The dominant concerns of last May--litter and guns--have been replaced by burning buildings, plane crashes and nuclear explosions and a fear of losing their parents. On the other hand, it was heartening to learn that the kids who earlier surveys showed were likely...
