...traceable to a combination of abstinence and contraceptive education, or an inclusive curriculum. Not coincidentally, the vast majority of Americans favor inclusive sex education; according to HHS, more than 80 percent of Americans over 30 and 90 percent of Americans under 30 believe that birth control information should be made available to teenagers. The American Medical Association recently announced its support for comprehensive sex education - specifically, a curriculum that includes both abstinence and contraception. Their researchers found that students who received this kind of education were likely to initiate sex later in life, and also tended to use contraception correctly...
...these chastity-based programs, however, render them irrelevant to the debate over sex education in public schools; initiatives like the Southern Baptists' popular "True Love Waits" have strong religious undertones, and their success seems largely dependent upon participants' religious conviction. These types of abstinence programs should be - and are - made available in churches, or at home.

...disgusted parents also wrote in, wondering why sex education needs to be taught in schools at all. While a great deal of debate remains over what kind of sex education should be included in an average public school student's day, mounting evidence shows that information should be made available to young people - outside of the home.

Everything is easier on the Internet, including the once-arduous sport of stock market speculation. Unfortunately for two cyber-hucksters who made a quick $370,000 by circulating false rumors of a corporate takeover, technology has also made it easier for law enforcement officials to catch criminals. Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Arash Aziz-Golshani and Hootan Melamed, both 23, with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, and the two face civil charges from the SEC as well. It was a stunningly simple plan: One Monday morning, investor chat rooms were abuzz with a tip that NEI, a down-and-out commercial...
Tripp's lawyers argue that the wiretaps are inadmissible since they became public only after she had an immunity deal with Ken Starr. But Maryland prosecutors made a strong case for admissibility Thursday on the strength of Monica's testimony. Lewinsky said a conversation, reprinted in Newsweek, took place December 22, 1997 - before Tripp reached an immunity deal with Starr, and afterTripp's lawyer had told her that such taping was illegal. Any recording after the deal was reached will probably be deemed inadmissible. But Lewinsky maintains she remembers specifically that it occurred before then because "it was a pretty...
