...such measures may not do much to curb rotisserie-style teendom. For one thing, parents often give the go-ahead.

We had image. The French, the people who have 246 different kinds of cheese and are responsible for the words laissez-faire, joie de vivre and restaurant, had culture. Now, I laugh at my innocent naivete. American culture is stronger than Microsoft stock pre anti-trust ruling. I know because I tried...
