...feistiest combatants are fighting against not school curriculums but school clinics. These health facilities are attached to or near public schools around the country, and they are spreading rapidly. Most are funded with a mix of public and private money. All offer across-the-board medical care. Some 28% dispense contraceptives, 52% prescribe them, and the rest make referrals to family-planning agencies.

...Press had suffered from a double trouble - and either would have been enough to kill it. The first problem was the paper itself. Once the feistiest daily in town, with an insatiable appetite for spirited crusades, the Press seemed to lose heart as rapidly as it lost readers. It lost touch with its community until, in the end, the Press's only municipal role was that of the paper that nobody needed and almost nobody read...
