Instead of providing a much needed substantive discussion of the changing relations of power and authority between adults and children, you provided us with a hollow piece of white, middle-class navel gazing. Children have clearly achieved a new, more empowered status as consumers, but you overstated the degree to which that has given kids the upper hand. More toys do not equal more power. In terms of politics, social policy and the institutions that directly affect and shape their lives, children continue to be relegated to the margins of social and political life.

...into any one of the 200 or so cell types that make up a human being. That opened the door to remarkable possibilities, including replacement cells for malfunctioning pancreases, injured spinal cords and plaque-clogged brains. It also brought stern warnings. Though the sacrificed embryos were no more than hollow, pinhead-size clusters of a few dozen cells, destroying them for whatever purpose represented, in the mind of many antiabortion conservatives, an assault on a human life...
...Apes" was indeed a fine-looking movie, from the setting to the shots of the apes loping into battle to, well, to Estella Warren and her highly evolved hairdo. That was to be expected from the director of "Scissorhands," "Batman," the even better-looking "Batman Returns," and "Sleepy Hollow."

...authorities stopped the tests in mid-June. Their verdict: inconclusive. That hasn't deterred the pharmacist and the ex-police chief, however. On June 2, Salang organized a free handout of V-1 at a Bangkok soccer stadium. It was a spectacle right out of a medieval plague tableau: hollow-eyed and ravaged by the disease, more than 4,000 AIDS sufferers limped onto the field or were carried on stretchers to receive a week's supply. For two patients, the dose came too late. Exhausted from negotiating through the shoving crowd and from the suffocating heat, they died...
...walked up the tunnel into the brilliant sunshine we were blinded by the field, an impossibly huge and bright emerald with a diamond eye. The Bosox stunk back then, and this was all for the good, because the sparse crowd allowed the sounds of the game to be immediate, hollow. The ball thumped into the mitt and cracked off the bat. I remember leaping to my little feet as the game's first fly ball ascended. Dad knowingly commentated, "Can-a-corn." The out must have traveled all of a hundred feet...
