...Life fund-raising campaigns for Chicago area Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Those counseling Centers provided information for pregnant women that highlighted alternatives to abortion, namely keeping the child or placing the baby up for adoption. I fervently believe these options are to be preferred, in all cases, and I relish the liberty I have to reach such a conclusion. In America, I am free to choose any definition of life that I please, based on any religion I choose to follow. I am free to enter into a loving, personal relationship with God and this encompasses the freedom not to obey...
Hollywood's interest in a cause often means Big Money. A benefit movie premiere can raise up to $350,000 in a single night.

Gates is enjoying this. Intellectual challenges are fun. Games are fun. Puzzles are fun. Working with smart people is superfun.

And, in fact, it has become a fitting job description...
...story highlighted an ongoing journalistic culture clash. Supermarket tabloids operate by different rules from most of the mainstream media. For one thing, they relish the sort of steamy subject matter (especially sex) that other publications shy away from; for another, they frequently pay money for stories. Star editors admit they paid 37-year-old prostitute Sherry Rowlands for her details of the alleged trysts with Morris (the amount was "under $50,000," they say). Yet they insist that the transaction did not make them any less confident of the truth of her allegations. In this instance the Star gathered enough...
