...called socially responsible investing funds, which buy only the sort of stocks that the Volvo-driving, soy-cappuccino-sipping liberal elite approves of, are everywhere these days. According to Lipper, the mutual-fund-tracking service, 199 SRI funds today manage $21.6 billion, up from 88 funds with $12.9 billion in 1999. The very names of the stocks these funds own--Horizon Organic, Nature's Sunshine, Peoples Energy and Progressive Corp.--would give a Berkeley sociology professor the warm fuzzies...

Officially, the retailing giant pulled the plug after "customers around the country" complained that the boobs-and-booze monthlies made them "uncomfortable."

...long and often bitter relationship between the Big Three and the UAW means that their work practices are rooted not in mutual trust but in a system of sometimes picky rules.

...northern Israel: "We used to think about you with prejudiced feelings," he said, "but we discovered through Nizar that shouldn't be the case." It was a moment of great symbolism for Hassan, a Palestinian director who carries an Israeli passport, because it brought together communities long divided by mutual suspicion. But the two audiences watching the documentary at the same time were not Jewish and Palestinian. The viewers - in Nazareth and Beirut, Lebanon's capital - were all Palestinian, members of a house divided against itself. Hassan's film, which screened last week in Cairo and will be shown this...
