...silver screen. But the darker side of pregnancy has yet to be discussed. In the recent hit comedy “Knocked-Up,” one character takes baby steps towards addressing this “issue,” going so far as to say the quasi-taboo word “shma-shmor-shmin.” In an effort to open up the abortion debate, at least on campus if not in the hills, Harvard Students for Choice hosted a panel last Friday entitled “Hollywood’s Pregnant Pause...
...comics formed a quasi-union, the Comedians for Compensation, and held meetings. The first one was mass chaos, says Dreesen, "Everybody's talking at the same time. Gallagher's yelling, 'Why don't we burn the fucking place down!' It was insanity." David Letterman was there, along with his good friend George Miller, who was particularly outraged because his mother used to work as a bookkeeper for Mitzi Shore - and thus knew how much money she was socking away.

In local elections two weeks ago, the democrats - who support universal suffrage for the quasi-autonomous Chinese territory - were soundly thrashed by parties loyal to Beijing, winning only 59 district council seats versus 115 for the most prominent pro-Beijing party. That result - along with a historically low voter turnout - seemed to suggest that the democrats had become a spent force in Hong Kong politics after cresting in popularity amid mass anti-government protest rallies...
