...listening to hip-hop 10 years ago," says Darryl McDaniels, the D.M.C. in Run-D.M.C. McDaniels points out that Run-D.M.C. rhymed about everything from materialism (My Adidas) and higher education ("I'm D.M.C. in the place to be/ I go to St. John's University") to Santa Claus (Christmas in Hollis). "We weren't choirboys, but we had multiple points of view. This past decade it seems like hip-hop has mostly been about parties and guns and women. That's fine if you're in a club, but from 9 a.m. till I went...
...Democrats and figure out how to fight the war." He should have added that it is time for the press and the Democrats to stop playing politics with the Iraq war and demanding a timetable for U.S. withdrawal.

After the Santa Monica accident, legislators, state departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and others began putting a premium on older-driver safety. The push is occurring on several fronts: research to identify which drivers need testing, development of more accurate assessment tools, a greater focus on driver remediation and the creation of specialized licensing for the elderly. In addition, states and social-services agencies are starting or bolstering programs to support older people who have stopped driving, offering counseling and alternate transportation options. Backing up all these efforts, officials are launching public education campaigns to encourage testing of older drivers...
Many new methods for assessing drivers are just now entering the market. Some are getting their first use at nonprofit senior-safety centers, whose numbers have expanded following the Santa Monica watershed. Florida has been at the forefront, having established five prototype driver-assessment centers in different cities. Each center uses DriveABLE, a system for examining drivers who are cognitively impaired because of dementia or complications of such medical conditions as stroke or diabetes...
