...What are the keys to dealing with a teenager's anger? Because they're the adults, parents need to suck it in and step back and try a whole lot of other things besides getting mad. Parents have to try, at times when the anger's not around, to come back to their son and revisit the issue at the core of the argument. They need to identify the kernel of truth contained in his anger, and go back to their son and say, Listen, you said this - can you tell me a little bit more about what...
...original cartoonists for Mad magazine, Will Elder created irreverent, satirical illustrations that provided inspiration for the makers of Airplane! and the Naked Gun movies.

I don't know about you, but weighing in each morning is not my idea of a good time. And it's certainly no fantasy...
...once again disappointed by TIME's biased report, "Why China's Burning Mad." The root cause of so much dissatisfaction among the Chinese people is the sense of being treated unfairly by Western media. Sadly, in Western democracies there is hardly anyone to speak for China. While Westerners who have never traveled to China to see the reality for themselves make their criticisms, almost no scholar or policymaker from mainland China has ever had a chance to represent their view in the Western media. There is a great need for the Western media, the Chinese government and Chinese citizens...
