...letter, GOP members of congress said "such comments are repugnant to the notion of religious freedom," and they asked Clinton to repudiate Blumenthal's remarks...
...there's a catch: the Chinese government may still try to build the electronic equivalent of the Great Wall around its country. As enthusiastic as they may be about the efficiencies of the Net, government officials admit they are still curious about the notion that the Net could somehow be "boxed." In that imagined future, Chinese citizens would have easy access to domestic websites, but sites outside the mainland--cnn.com for instance--might be blocked.

...fictional Hedwig, avoids high camp, low sex jokes and Judy Garland impressions. True, Hedwig's stage patter has its share of double entendres ("I do love a warm hand on my entrance"), but the literate script is also a poignant meditation on loneliness, gender confusion and the Platonic notion that sex is the effort to reconnect two halves of one ideal being.

In another sign that the market's pendulum of emotions remains firmly balanced, Wall Street's view on the too-hot, too-cold question is as divergent as ever. Merrill Lynch rushed out a report saying profits are in trouble and interest rates must surely decline. Goldman Sachs discerns continued bliss as far as the eye can see. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter is convinced that inflation and higher rates are just around the bend. That's all I need to hear. There...
