...Juneau-Douglas High School in Alaska let students cross the street to watch the Olympic torch pass on its way to Salt Lake City. As TV cameras rolled, senior Joseph Frederick and several friends unfurled a banner that said BONG HITS 4 JESUS. Frederick later testified that the banner was supposed to be "meaningless and funny, in order to get on television." But the school principal was not amused, and she suspended Frederick for 10 days...
...private affair. "But if the time should ever come," he vowed, "... when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office."

Any effort to regulate the Texas turtle harvest must deal with the reality that 95% of the land in Texas is in private hands, Wagner says. But even in states with large areas of public land the turtle harvest debate has been contentious - Minnesota has grappled with the issue for over a decade. Other states have banned commercial harvesting of wild turtles -among them Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina...
