...detractors. Two British Parliament members condemned the anatomical exhibit as "unacceptable in a civilized society," and the Lutheran Church in Germany deemed it immoral. Several California Science Center board members were initially "very uncomfortable" with the exhibit, admits president Jeffrey Rudolph. One controversial display--a partially dissected pregnant woman, whose heart, intestines and 8-month-old fetus are clearly visible--was placed behind a wall with notices posted nearby, to alert anyone who might be offended. Plenty apparently aren't: half a million people have seen the show in L.A., double the attendance of the museum's popular Titanic exhibit...

The regime then decided the deserters should marry foreigners from among the East European, Asian and Middle Eastern women brought to North Korea against their will...
...Labor Committee took the twins to task over maternity leave-- or, rather, the lack of it--for the women in Bangladesh who sew their Wal-Mart clothing line. The school newspaper suggested the student government censure the celebs, and a march was organized. When presented with a pledge guaranteeing pregnant women time off, the stars quickly signed. The Olsens' names were removed from protest banners, but the march continued against Wal-Mart. As if understanding multivariable calculus weren't enough to worry about already...
