Critics of sponsored searches say the process perverts the quest for information online--that it's like having a reference librarian recommend books based on how much she is paid by the publishers. Gross argues that GoTo is more like a Yellow Pages; users understand that the advertisers who pay the most get the best placement. He notes that GoTo's site states clearly how much each site has paid. But on some search engines powered by GoTo, it can be hard to figure out who has paid...

"We are going ahead full speed." By the end of this year, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham will probably recommend to President Bush that nuclear waste be buried at the repository.

It argues for accepting that college-age kids are going to drink and for encouraging them to do so safely. Some campus officials recommend bowing to reality and lowering the drinking age, as 29 states did in the early '70s. By 1988, in response to the national mood against drunk driving and a threat by the Federal Government to cut off highway funding, every state had a minimum drinking...
