...some scholars disagree about the need to present porn in class. In Sex and the Law, a senior seminar given by Paul Abramson, a psychology professor at UCLA, the screening of Inside Deep Throat, a documentary about the making of the notorious '70s porno film, is optional. Porn is "so pervasive in our culture, most students have already seen it," Abramson explains. Showing it "seems unnecessary." Likewise, Catherine Sherwood-Puzello, who covers pornography in her human-sexuality class at the University of Indiana at Bloomington, the home of sex pioneer Alfred Kinsey's institute, displays Michelangelo's David and Playboy...
Other cities are crafting their own solutions. St. Paul, Minn., which has had to forgo Winter Carnival ice sculptures and on-ice softball tournaments in recent years because of rising temperatures, is using a biomass-fired power plant for both heat and electricity. Keene, N.H., is harnessing methane and other gases at its landfill to run a generator that powers its recycling center. Salt Lake City, Utah, has converted 1,630 traffic stops to energy-efficient light-emitting diode signals--which alone will save more than 500 tons of CO2 pollution each year and cost the city $53,000 less...

...Less surprising was Benedict?s appointment of John Paul?s long-time personal secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, to the Archbishop post of Krakow that Wojtyla held before becoming Pope. Dziwisz, who gets his red hat just eight days shy of the anniversary of his mentor?s death, is also looking forward to a visit from Benedict in Poland in late May. The new Pope, known as a true believer in set rules, surprised some last spring by skipping the usual waiting period to put John Paul on the fast-track to sainthood. Dziwsz is hoping that on his Polish trip Benedict...
...Overall, the new batch of Cardinals continues John Paul's geographical mix and stern line on doctrine. Benedict's first consistory is also notable for its dimensions, with far fewer Cardinals than was John Paul's custom. Some believe Pope Ratzinger may choose smaller, more regular (perhaps annual) consistories to keep the College of Cardinals consistently close to the 120 limit. It also would be a chance for regular encounters with all his men in red hats. Benedict may be a Pope not only eager to choose Cardinals, but work with them as well...
