Depending on who you talk to, these programs are anywhere from completely ineffective to marginally more effective than the standard. Studies evaluating these programs in Minnesota and Maryland indicate that teaching abstinence to high school students is more or less useless if not offered in conjunction with normal safe-sex education, whereas studies with fifth-grade (!) students in seriously disadvantaged areas of Illinois imply that they are mildly effective or harmless. These are not compelling numbers, to say the least...
Hollings: Get in a debate with [Maryland Senator] Barbara Mikulski. Get into a debate with [California Senator] Barbara Boxer. They really have elevated our service. And they're more conscientious.

All right, but there's still the matter of those how-low-can-you-go Speedos...
From a freshman on the scout team to an All-Ivy-caliber linebacker, Thomas has traveled anything but the typical road to stardom. The Maryland native befriended Balestracci during the spring of his freshman year, and the upperclassman’s leadership proved pivotal in Thomas’ development on and off the field...
