...hard to imagine that anyone could object to a campaign to eliminate polio - a disease that maims, paralyzes, and even kills its victims, who are mostly children. Yet, in one of the more bizarre confrontations between Islamic fundamentalists and the modern world, a tiny group of clerics in India is doing just that - and giving new life to a deadly disease...
...floor of every Italian’s favorite department store, Fendi, was covered in pelts of every size, shape, and color. Fur collars even decorated the tops of suits in Armani shops (though I doubt that will catch on with the males of America). And no one seemed to object to the requisite murder of small animals!

Who needs it? You can sit down at your laptop and enjoy that same newspaper or any other newspaper in the world. Or you can skip the newspapers and go to some site that makes the news more entertaining or politically simpatico. And where do these wannabes get most...
