...been 20 years since I was a teenager, but if memory serves, my adolescent experience took place in an environment very different from today's. Certainly, I struggled with the same dilemmas that still define this realm: Who am I? Where will my life take me? When will I get naked with a girl? Like everyone else, I had to solve the riddle of defying my elders while conforming to my peers. Until we find a cure for puberty, there will always be young adults fixated upon these questions. What's new is an entire culture fixated upon those...

(In fact, the better question may be, is it even fair to keep these kids stuck at home or in a classroom during their peak earning years?)

"Now are you gonna write that," challenges [The Artist...
...found the statistics for academic achievement among Webster Groves' African-American students particularly disheartening. It is very sad that the school would place the academic success of its black students, particularly its star athlete, so low. Athletes are to be thanked for the many hours of enjoyment they bring us. Our greatest achievements, however, have been directed by those who possess powerful analytical skills for critiquing both our culture and the nature of man's existence. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X--none of these men came to prominence by way of athletics. They wielded...
