...government researchers fanned out across the nation in 2002, surveying 12,571 Americans ages 15 to 44. That included plenty of nonteenagers, of course, but it's the teens who provided the most provocative talking points. More than half the adolescents surveyed, for example, said they had engaged in oral sex (and their claims are fairly credible, since the questions were posed not face to face by an adult interviewer but through a specially designed computer program).

People think a poet is someone who sits alone. In fact, poetry has come out of the oral tradition. It's something people shared. It has a vitality that kids really respond...
...very moved by the oral histories of the U.S. servicemen aboard the planes that struck Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I hope they know they are heroes. It was estimated that an invasion might have caused 1 million Allied casualties. There would be a lot fewer dads and grandpas around today had that taken place.
