...earlier, in the week's other landmark Internet ruling, a Philadelphia court blocked enforcement of the Child Online Protection Act, Congress's latest attempt to ban cybersmut. The law was intended, its backers say, to protect children from "teaser ads"--sexually explicit free samples that many porn sites offer before making users pay by credit card. But the court agreed with critics who said the measure would curb not only teasers but a wide range of less racy Internet speech directed at adults...
...Herbert's image-heavy poems. Herbert goes on to describe lost words as being "a small prickly pin / that connected / the most beautiful / lost metaphor in the world." His persistence in revamping sentence and idea structure in order to illustrate experience despite the fragility of language is thus made explicit.

I hope my children will become responsible people who meet commitments; are generous to others; and are knowledgeable about the world, their heritage, the beautiful objects and experiences of life, the discoveries of today, the challenges of tomorrow.

These days you can get that on C-SPAN. In fact, the book's treatment of matters of the flesh is almost quaint; unlike Ken Starr, Tarloff leaves most of the steamy stuff to one's imagination...
...sang it with feeling. President Clinton Sunday joined a Methodist congregation in a hearty rendition of "We Shall Overcome," using Martin Luther King as the perfect launch pad for what may be the most important week of his presidency. The spin connection was made explicit in the Rev. J. Philip Wogaman's sermon: Dr. King was a flawed man, but his personal flaws are eclipsed by his historic achievements. While the President's lawyers prepare to slice and dice the prosecution's reading of both the facts and the law on Tuesday, Clinton hopes to shift attention to his accomplishments...
