Whatever the ultimate consequences of population growth may be, it is important to remember the danger of treating statistics as mere numbers. Regardless of the millennial hoopla that Y6B will doubtless create, its cumulative environmental, economic, and humanitarian effects are what we can ill afford to forget...
...Forget all the griping about money and the lack thereof, and forget for a moment that the U.S. Ryder Cup team has in recent years been the most consistently underachieving group in sport. Remember instead the victory, the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history that gave the U.S. team its first championship since 1993. Down 10-6 going into the final day in Brookline, Mass., the American players won their first six matches easily and clinched when Justin Leonard's putt on 17 assured the U.S. team of 14 1/2 points, just enough...
...have forgotten the meaning of being a kid. I am verily aware of those who will scoff at my words and ridicule what I'm about to say.

Then there was Andres Serrano (a graduate, incidentally, of the Brooklyn Museum art school) and his "Piss Christ." And who could forget the chocolate-smeared Karen Finley? The terms of the debate are familiar: Does government funding place ultimate discretionary power in the hands of public officials, or does the First Amendment guarantee freedom of expression for all artists, in all venues? Proponents of the former stance argue, like Giuliani, that...
