...their job may soon be easier if Congress passes a bill proposed by U.S. Representative Elton Gallegly, a California Republican known for his animal-rights legislation. The bill, which has 32 cosponsors, ranging from conservative Republicans to liberal Democrats, would prohibit any profit-making from the films and subject violators to prison terms of up to five years. "This is something so horrible and despicable that it has to end," Gallegly said of films such as "Vicious in Las Vegas" and "Mistress Di: Princess of Death." One web site, perhaps anticipating a crackdown, has already moved...
...principle. George W., the self-described compassionate conservative, has staked out a moderate position on race not far from his father's New England Republicanism. He has come out for "affirmative access," a deliberately vague term that seems to include race-based outreach to minorities, something Connerly's initiatives prohibit...
...poll. "They took the bait," chuckled an adviser to Lamar Alexander. But Bush is laughing now. Rather than dip into his campaign chest, he had six donors cover the tab. Too clever, says Steve Forbes' team, which charges that the end run is a violation of campaign laws that prohibit individuals from giving more than $1,000 to a candidate.

...issues have been overlooked. Many movies that are R-rated [requiring that those 17 and under be accompanied by a parent] should be classified as the more restrictive NC-17 [barring anyone under 17]. Such uneven labeling makes a mockery of the film ratings. An R-rated film should prohibit any child under 13. Also, it's quite possible for parents to take toddlers and children to violent and explicit R-rated movies. Parents must be made more aware of just how badly young children are affected by viewing violence. However, in the interim we must not sit idly...
